I guess I'm being paranoid. I started mocking up my layout tonight and was wondering if there's any danger in running that many junctions over the video card. Not that I'm expecting leaks, and I've never had leak related problems before - so whaddaya think?

Here's a sketch of the setup:

Before anyone jumps in and says the BIP X-flow won't handle the CPU and GPU, just keep in mind I'm not looking for massive overclocks. I'm still considering picking up a PA160 too.

This project is going really well and the case mods are falling together nicely. I'll post some pics when I finish.

EDIT: I also wanted ask if the bottom of the case is better location for the pump - in general, and in consideration of my question above. My initial thought was that up on the drive cage it would have less distance to pump to the Storm, it leaves the PCI slots free (for the most part), and it looks good there...but after looking at it, I wonder if the pump would have trouble pulling the liquid up against gravity. I realize pressure in the loop will help push the liquid along. Any input is very much appreciated.

Thanks!!!
