I guess our difference (besides my not wanting a 12V pump) is that I'm stuck on a single inlet, dual outlet waterblock design with 1/2" I.D. tubing. That's why I'm waiting for D-Tek's revised WhiteWater design.
I've played around with smaller tubing water-cooled stuff and the results just don't seem equal to the effort involved. That, essentially, is why I'm going for a more robust liquid cooling system. In other words, I wouldn't touch the xice system, but since this is your first stab at liquid cooling, it just might work well for you.
There isn't a full kit available for a dual Opteron liquid cooling set-up, so you will have to do some homework and put together a package of your own.
About monitors... I'm hoping someone comes out with a nice thin bezel design for normal aspect 23" LCD. So far, that hasn't happened yet. I do like Apple's Cinema Displays, but want the height of a normal aspect 23" screen. The down side is that running three of them won't work with a Parhelia, so when the time comes, I'll likely have to go back to multiple video cards... :shrug:
