I would use B: Dual Eheim 1048 in series or similiar setup.

A) with single 1048 you will be getting less than 1 gpm for storm block. That means the storm block will start to underperform and temps will not be so impressive.

B) Best choice but similiar options. You already have two 1048's so I would stick with those. Slighty better would be dual mcp350 (even better Modded MCP 350
or dual CSP MAG.

C) mcp655 pump gets too noisy at setting 4 and 5. I would go for mcp350 single modified version. Would be quiter and perform the same.

To think about it 2 pa160's is overkill. A single pa160 with two fans can handle that load without a sweat. Mashie since you have godlike modding skills I would setup three 120mm fans. Two fans in stack configartion for push and one pull exhaust out.

If you stilll like the idea of two pa160s 12x9x9" rad box would be smaller as a 1ft cube is larger than the HTPC which is not that small.
