I also suspect that flow is, well, a bit overrated. I have 1.7 l/min (which I know for a fact). Yet this happily cools two Opteron 250s (2x85W) plus a Radeon 9800 (50W) on a single BIX, fanned by a low-flow Panaflo.

Agreed. But I understand their concern.
My Flow is measured at ~0.75gpm and I'm running 2 Xeon w/ 2MB cache at 3.2GHz. Each one dispating about 120W each [240W] (I run seti at home and cancer research all full time). I'm also cooling my onboard VRM with a custom water block.
My temperatures aren't great right now because of a reservior restriction issue; but at full load my cpu DIODE is measureing 54C with 100% utilization.
As this is a koolance system; I have my fans set to lowest RPM setting and the outside edge of the cpublock temperature is hovering around 43C.
The loudest thing in my case is the 550W Antec EPS-12V PSU.
