I'm looking forward to seeing the first pictures of the real thing; your setup is exactly the type of thing I have been thinking of making:

I wanted to ask something about the separation wall: Wouldn't having the 120mm fan as a blowhole promote better airflow to cool the PSU and pump? Are you dividing the two areas because you believe the 120mm fan will suck too much air out of the container (and the PSU wouldn't get enough circulation)? I agree that the pump and PSU will need to be cooled, but under the current setup the blowhole isn't helping with this. It will get rid of the hot air in the radiator area, but then again I don't know if you would even need another fan for this (considering the fan pulling air through the radiator into the box).
