Case: Lian Li V2100

Motherboard: Asus Maximus Formula

Radiators: Single 120.3 mounted in top of case and dual 120.2's on bottom of case

Tubing: Tygon 3603

I want to WC these:

CPU
NB (optional)
SB (optional)
Mosfet (optional)
Dual 3870 X2's

Im giving myself a major headache beings that Im a first timer... a few variations and not sure which will give me best heat dissipation as well as best looking loop configuration. I have thought about these configs:

Config 1 --> 2 loops: Top 120.3 cooling CPU+NB+SB+Mosfet and then both bottom 120.2's in the same loop cooling both video cards.

Config 2 --> 3 loops: (Same as Config 1) but have each video card on its own loop and its own 120.2

Config 3 --> (Same as Config 1) but reverse the order... having CPU+NB+SB+Mosfet on the bottom 120.2's and then both video cards on the top 120.3

Here is a pic of the case (presently only shows a single 120.2 on the bottom)
