I had originally planned to have a system with:
2 x radiators, 4 x 120mm fans, 2 x pumps, a CPU, NB and HDD WB, but due to space constraints, I have had to rethink my setup.
So now I have this planned:
1 x Rad, 2 x fans, 2 x pumps, a CPU, NB and HDD WB, which will fit.
Link number 3 on this page shows the flow pattern for my proposed setup.

If you can't access it, the setup is :
pump1->Rad->CPUWB->res->pump1
pump2->NBWB->HDDWB->res->pump2
Now both pumps draw from the same res, and seeing as pump2 will have less then half the flow of pump1, pump1 will move enough of the warm water coming from the pump2 loop into the rad, to keep the overall temps of the water in the system down.
Basically loop2 doesn't have a rad, and is relying on the water from loop2 to mix with the water from loop1 in the res, and then some of the loop2 water should get sucked into the rad too, which will keep it cool.
Anyone tried this/is using this?
Any pitfalls to watch out for?
