I could see this working in a two chamber reservoir setup, but then you'd have to match the flow in both loops or one reservoir would drain into the other. If I'm missing something, please set me straight folks.

Well, you're right about one res draining into the other one, that's for sure.
We covered this in another thread
here
I suggested sticking the rad loop outlet into the CPU loop inlet. It'd be near impossible to match the flow rates though, they're always going to be different.
