I was thinking I might be able to have something kind of embedded in to the case but I dunno if that will work with those. I suppose I could have about 6 inches of hose sticking out the case including the connectors on, and then have the rest of the length and the other connector attached up to the cooling case.

Here's my updated design:



I'd also like to note that the side facing the viewer will have a window installed into it so that I can see everything is working. This setup will let me have it at my feet at a 90 degree angle to my case so the window is facing me, or on top of my case along the length of it so that the window is on the same plane (I think - I suck at maths) as my case's window. Does that make sense?
Forgive my ignorance, but why the wall in the center ?, shirley having a straight through air flow would cool the pump/res/PSU ? Also if your using an ATX PSU, its fan does away with the need for the 120mm top fan, pulling air through.

Seeings that this is all going into a home brew case, why not go for a push pull around the radiator now space isnt an issue ?

I wish I had the space to do this, I use the top of my PC for spare paper/CDs ...
