Quantity of water is irrelevant; the heat resistance of the cooling solution is.

i.e. is this 3/4" tube finned? Are there any turbulators built inside? Fans or convection only?

Otherwise, I calculate the pressure drop as equivalent to 11 * 90 degree elbows: could be worse, but ought to be fine. Two PCs? I don't think so, unless the pump is hefty, and/or there are no other water blocks than CPU and/or the CPU water blocks are not too restrictive.
