I am about to build my first rig, I already have the hardware, but have no water cooling components yet.
I have attatched my setup jpeg, and am up for plenty of advice.
My goals are:
Good looks (Hence the silly reservoir and 3/8" Tube, sorry folks)
V.Good performance but not bleeding edge (Running 2.4 @ about 3.6)
Value for money
Silence
As a newbie I'm keen for you're opinions, especially regards my pump configuration and est cooling potential.

Well your tubing looks like its a lot more complicated than it has to be... Everything looks really cluttered in just that picture so Im sure it would be worse in real life. Not to mention with your pumps there it would be a pain in the rear end to remove/replace/add a PCI/AGP card...
Personally Ive never been one to any kind of intake on the bottom of my case just because of dust etc. If thats not a problem for you (you have wooden floors) then thats kool.
Id move the radiator to that top 120mm and move the pumps to the bottom of the case and the resevoir to the back of the case, like outside of the case where that 80mm is exhausting to and just remove the fan. Would be a lot easier to route stuff that way, much more space to work with and would probably look cleaner.
