I'm not going to be one to say that you should do this or that, nor would I expect someone to say that to me. But jesus, when you start to throw in flowrates of 1/2 vs 3/8 hose and pumps and other things of that nature ya know it really takes the fun away from it.
And from what I have seen so far for parallel vs series cooling well it's a space issue most of the time and other times people do not want to spend the extra time on the extra needed hardware.
Oh and for flow rate. if you happen to see the pump that I'm using well yeah, it's something like 3,000 gph. It's a pond pump.
And someone said something about what is the thermal load differance when the water goes from block to block in series, well it depends on the flow rate/inside hose diameter/ block restriction. So in all reality the key would be to figure out how long to keep the water in the block before moving it onto the next block without restricting flow and carrying exessive heat from block to block. Yet making sure that the liquid can carry the heat fast enough to not hold it in the block and cause issues. So can you have to much of a flow rate? or no matter how fast your flow is it will still remove the heat.

I'm not trying to be a dick, but you really need to do some reading. You don't seem to have a grasp of the basics here, which is a real problem given your interest in advanced stuff. Do some reading, work on getting an understanding of what effects performance and why, and then resume your projects. I think you'll understand why your chiller didn't work, and much more with a little effort.
