Default just ordered setup - help with some daft questions please

Hi
Finally got round to ordering watercooling

Heres what ive gone for

GPU Block : Maze 4 Uni-GPU Block Black
Reservoir : Criticool Waterplant 6"
Pump : Eheim 1250
Radiator : ThermoChill HE120.2
Tubing : 20ft DangerDen Clearflex Tubing
Additive : Purple Ice
Compound - Arctic Silver 5

I know i don't have a CPU block, but struggling to find an LGA block in the uk, will add as soon as i can.

2 questions i probabley should of sorted before i ordered lol.

Will the amount of tubing I use have any real effect on performance? (not to bothered about overclocking or extreme low temps).
I have a few options on where to mount pump, rad etc, atm the room next to me is looking good.

Also what do i acctually fill it with? I seem to remember distilled water being good, and i can get hands on loads of this as i do A-level chemistry.

Oh and one other thing - the main reason i'm doing this is for silence.
I'm mounting the 1250 externally so got plenlty of room to dampen it, just any tips on the best way to do it?
Was thinking of hanging it from elastic, unless theres a better way.

Cheers
Dan
