I do want this to perform the best it can but dont forget Im putting this in a living room by the projector so I need it to be queit =)

James-
Is there any update as to the status of your cooling tower? I'm thinking about doing the exact same system as yours to cool my HTPC that drives my projector (damn noisy 120mm fan even undervolted). I love the idea of the WACC (Wet & Chilly Chips) cooling tower, but they are simply TOO expensive to get shipped to the US.
There are currently two possible choices for my setup using a dual pass 18" cooler or using a single pass 24" (or possibly 30"). The only problem with the dual pass is that an airpocket will form at top of the cooler and will result in an imbalance of fluid levels. I think that some sort of fill point will need to be inserted at the top of the dual pass cooler for simplicity. I have also hunted quite hard for a drawing of the inside of the dual pass, but have not found one.
I would LOVE to passively cool my Athlon64 3000+ (not overclocked), but depending how well it does, i may have to have some sort of very very very quiet fan to aid in cooling and permit 24/7 operation (w/SETI@Home). IF this system works very well, I may build a second one for an upcoming build (Athlon 3500(90nm), NB, and 6600GT).
Any Ideas or tips for building the system?
