But I will be overclocking the hell out of which ever SLI setup I go for Maybe even TEC's
If you end up on TECs the a GPU block only solution might be more effective than the block'n'ram options. The ram cooling is really something at the margins and may detract from the GPU cooling performance ( as well as making it impossible to mount a pell, come to think of it!). If you're relly hitting the card hard and want something for the ran though you could do a seperate mini-loop with these babies.

While I've used 1/2" in the past I think I'm going to stick with 3/8" for this system; with the blocks, rads and pumps I'm choosing it shouldn't be a problem.
Righto, If it helps Asetek sell kit with pushfits for 1/2" OD 3/8"ID, same as swiftek, however its not available in every reseller in europe.

I don't think thats possible; as the motherboard is housed in the upper compartment the upper edge of the mobo is right at the top of the case, less than an inch from the roof.
You're right. I was remembering the V1000 that strangely has a little more room there.

As I have to wait a little bit more before I can get the parts I want, I've had another look into whats going to be available, and around March time retailers should have the LSI Logic SATA 300-8Xfor sale, which is a hardware SATAII-RAID controller. Being SATAII, it'll allow me to expand using port multipliers, so I may need to re-think the location of that dual 120 at some point in the future, if I ever want to expand with more drives.
Nice card, makes my 2410SA look a bit limp
