Joe your comments on designing loops and Marco's disputes about the importance of positioning the components I think might only come in conflict in people dealing with small cases. As the trend moves to water cooling in smaller and smaller cases, there are a lot of tradeoffs to be made to fit everything in. No it isn't perfect to put a pump right before a block instead of right before a radiator, but it might allow you to get the overall loop a lot cleaner than putting it together a more technically sound way.
I was also glad to see your distaste at radiators on the top of cases; I don't even consider "top of the loop" when putting water cooling in a case. I just have never had luck keeping them airfree that way.
