So, did you have to re-test once you assembled the parts back together?

sorry for the delay in responding, i actually quit looking at the thread after the guy told me my routing job looked like sh!t, lol, he obviously has never seen or had to wire in a clear case
I don't know quite what you mean about a separate setup for the radbox requiring a second leak test. since this doesnt use the fill and bleed kit there is no 'air leak' test. What I did was assemble all the waterblocks and cut my tubing outside the case, mounted the pump and rads on the case, brought it all together in a final assembly, connected everything, filled the Res, and turned the pump on and off until the system was filled. I had one small leak at the 80mm rad which i fixed by adjusting the entry angle of the tubing and I had a large air bubble on the entry feed to the 120 rad which I got rid of by unmounting the rad and rotating it upside down while the system was running.
so far the system runs like a dream, it is as quiet as any dell type OEM machine out there, and inaudible compared to my Intel air cooled rig.
for those that asked, so far it runs at 30-32C.
I am actually getting ready to OC the A64 3200+ and my goal is a 275x10 overclock, working out to a 4000+ in amdspeak. I will post my results.
thanks again for the feedback
