I am trying to get a final configuration for my water cooling setup. A few things are non-negotiable as I already have them:

Lian Li PC70 case
Eheim 1250 pump
DD Maze2 wb

And I NEED the lower HDD cage and the other drive bays as well. Anyway, here are the two possible configurations:

a) radiator = leviathon + 2 120mm fans:

The good: Ownage performance from a big ass heatercore; good flow rates
The bad: radiator isn't in optimum place and would likely have issues with air getting trapped.

b) radiator = Black Ice or BI Extreme

The good: Shouldn't have issues with air in rad; much more compact setup with no visible mods to outside of case

The bad: BI Extreme is nearly $100; performance prolly worse than big heatercore; flowrates will be lower as well.

So as far as I can tell there is no clear winner; do you guys have a preference and/or any suggestions?
