i'm pretty sure i've read enough details here and there to realize that in the end, swapping out a few things doesn't really make ALL that much of a difference in the end.

Here's the initial idea:
Thermochill HE130.3 (or black ice extreme III if it's better)
Eheim 1048, that new DDC, or the swiftech650 pump (whatever's quietest and powerful enough)
probably a swiftech 6002 waterblock, possibly a storm G4 if i can find one for a decent price
learning towards 1/2" tubing as hose routing won't be a problem

I'm starting to lean towards saving some money however and wondering if I should go with the heatercores over at dangerden instead of the thermochill HE120.3... if I did this I'd still want a 3 120mm fan layout, so I'd just get 1 single and 1 double heatercore and just run them together in series.. would this work alright? do you think a specific pump would be best for this layout? chances are I'd add a gpu block too to the loop, so keep that in mind in your comments.

thanks..
