Default In your opinion, will this work?

Recently, a sad thing happened. My apartment burned down and I lost all 3 of my computers. (dual 366@550, Dell PIII laptop, Sun Blade workstation) Well, now I have to build a new, super tough system with the insurence money (of course). I have plans on the table for a Dual 1.4Ghz Athlon MP system based on the Tyan board. I went with water cooling because I would like to sleep at night with my computer on. I have purchased (2) swiftech water blocks, an Eheim 1250 pump, and (2) fairly large radiators. The problems I see deal with the difference in hose size amoung the components. I would like to optimize for the best flow.

(2)SwiftTech Blocks - 3/8 outside diameter
(2)Radiator - 3/8 inside diameter
Eheim pump - around 1/2 for both

My plan is to split at the pump to maximize flow there, take both of those feeds each to a radiator, then to the blocks, converting down near the block, then bring it back to the pump. Is this the best solution. Any advice would be helpful.. Thanks
