I've been lurking for a week or two now, and I think I'm nearing the final plans for my setup. So far, I've decided on the following:

Swiftech MCP600 pump
D-Tek WW CPU block

As for a radiator... The case everything is going in is a Lian Li PC61. It's not exactly a very spacious case. I dislike the notion of having to cut a larger blowhole, so a top mount radiator is not an option. The only place to place a radiator would be in front of the intake fans then. By my measurements, a BIX will fit perfectly. However, will it be able to handle the heat from my processor (I estimate around 120W using this). With some more modification, I can fit a D-Tek JR-120. With even more work, a D-Tek Pro Core.

I currently plan on only cooling the CPU, but I would like the ability to add on a chipset and GPU block (hence the Swifty as the pump I've chosen). This would make the heat load about 150W. What would you guys recommend in this situation?
