Maze3 is for straight watercooling and currently can't be used with TECs. But I'm sure DD will eventually come up with Maxe3-1 and Maxe3-2. If you want to use a single pelt DD Maze2-1 or Swiftech MCW462-UT, for 2 pelts Maze2-2 are your best choices.

I don't use Intel CPUs, so I can't recommend on what type pelt you need to use on the Northwood. But I don't think you need to use dual pelts to freeze the hell out of it.

For the fittings size choose 1/2", but use 3/8" ID silicone tubing instead of cumbersome 1/2"ID tubing. I recently setup my second watercooling rig with 1/2" ID tubing, so I know what I'm talking about.
3/8" ID Silicone tubing nicely fits over 1/2" OD barbs and looks neat.

For the raditoator go with the Black Ice Xtreme. You can't go wrong with it.

Cooltechnica.com is the best place to get all the parts above. To my experience they have the fastest service, and best prices.
