funny you should mention the mcres-1000, because that actually comes in the kit I was planning on buying (Rev. 3a). i think it's a relatively new kit, because i haven't been able to find it at any of the online retailers i've looked at. i guess ill just have to pay the extra $20-$30 dollars to buy it straight from swiftech, no biggy. now another question, does the orientation of the waterblock and the radiator matter (i.e. is there an "upside-down" and a "right-side-up" orientation for the both of them??) The reason I'm asking is because I was planning on mounting the kit on the case just as they did on this site
HERE (they actually use the same case im planning to buy, and Rev. 3, not 3a, of the kit im planning to buy.) instead of mounting the pass-through kit through one of the PCI slots, they just decided to drill holes right above the rear 120mm fan grill. is the radiator, "upside-down" in this case, or does it not matter??? If the setup works fine that way, Rev. 3a should make for a pretty clean setup, as the longest piece of tubing ill have to use will go straight from one side of the case to the other (above the rear 120mm fan grill straight to one of the 5 1/4 drive bays.) Once again any input is much appreciated.
by the way, what order should the water be flowing in.........is it pump/reservoir, radiator, cpu, then back to pump/reservoir, or should it go in a different order??
