well it sounded like you were going to have a loop with 1 or 2 giant passive radiators. Also on the PSU I was over estmateing, it is probably less then that. So maby a total of around 280-300 watts (I included HD in everything else).

One other idea is dont WC the cpu but air cool it with a huge heatpipe cooler with a high CFM fan. Since the fans will be encased in about 5-6 in of insulation I would be surprised if much noise audible. This would put around 100-120 more watts on the TECS but it takes out the need for two loops. Athough I would worry about the load on the wc that 3 325 watt TEC would put out. This is all your choice though and no matter what it will take some tweaking.
