Trying to iron out the last of the details this weekend. I may have to set it up with a POS CPU (Duron 750) but I think I will do it anyway just to get finished. I keep hoping to find an 1800+ TBred available but no luck as of yet. Anyway you guys don't care about that; you want the update.

First of all, I decided to skip the R1000 Tygon I have (3/8" ID) and go with 1/2" ID thickwall silicone (my old standby). For a pump, I am using a Laguna Statuary Pump model3. This is actually a submersible pump that required a little Goop to run inline. It is rated for ~ 360 GPH and 19W, and according to the P-Q curve is comparable to an Eheim 1250 but only the size of an Eheim 1048. It was also all I could find locally.

For radiator, I am using a Black Ice Extreme. I made a shroud for it today to raise the fan another 1" from the rad:

For blocks I am using an Innovatek rev3 CPU block and an Innovatek GPU block modified to accept 1/2" barbs:

And for filling I am still deciding between a 3 valve system and just a simple T. If I go with valves they will be little copper ball valves but the T is looking more and more attractive as I get ready to plumb this case for its ease. Anyone have any comments on the merit of either?
