This is exactly what I was after but including the steps to get to this point as well as taking into account the performance of the blocks, their restriction as well as the restriction caused by the hose, the pumps own heat that is transfered into the loop and the affects of having or not having a res and using WAF's (Weak Ass Fans -- (c) Cathar 2004 ).

Can you help me more generally so that I can start to ask the individual questions or in some cases gather the info. What I mean is tell me what would be necessary to accomplish this. For example I assume I would need the cw and head loss of each component? The heat produced by the CPU & GPU? What else and how would I combine these facts (or guestimates in some cases) to come up with my final answer of how big/small a surface area I need.

Thanks again Bob, I appreciate every answer, even if it is just a "WTF" or "yeah I would like to know too" or even a "you want to much kid".
