Here is an overview of my system:

3 blocks. CPU,GPU,Video. All will have 3/8 NPT Female threads to accept the barbs. The CPU will have 1/2" barb to accept 12" ID tubing. The other blocks will have 3/8" barbs to accept 3/8" ID tubing.

I will be using two Distribution blocks to get the water to the chips. Here's a pic.

The block on the right will attach directly to the Pump/Res/BleedLine mod I made. Similiar to one on here earlier.

All tubing and fittings will be 1/2" id except for the individual runs to the two smaller blocks. The max head is 24". I have a full tower case, and the rad is in the top and the pump is on the bottom.

My question: What pump should I use? I want good flow, but not excessive as the heat from an overactive pump will probably heat up case. I will be venting the hot air around the pump via a low flow panaflow 92 mm fan. I will have two holes, one on each side of the case, directly next to the pump. The fan will suck air across the pump out the side of the case.

I know the Eheim's are highly recomended, but I've been looking at "The Quiet One" at www.overclock-watercool.com . A super quiet direct drive pump that pumps over 1100 GPH Here's a pic.

Thoughts, Ideas?

Thanks
