I'm in a position to get a Zalman Reserator 1 set at half the usual price (don't ask me how), but I was thinking of modding it to fit my demands for a dual cooling loop for 2 computer with a shared external reservoir with submerged pumps.

I dont know the inner diameter of the Reserator (where the pump lies), but I would submerge 2 Hydor L30 pumps inside on the bottom, make new holes with 1/2" ID fittings on one side of the Reserator and connect the pumps to 2 separated cooling loops with heatercores (also external) and several cooling blocks, that would end by bringing the warm water back into the top part of the Reserator

Would such a system be able to run without fans for 24/7, using multiple blocks for most of the components, not overclocked, and have temperatures well within the safety margins?
