Default gonna be re-doing my water cooling, need some tips.

Right now I have watercooled PC65. I like it, but the case is just to small for what I want to put in there.

Right now I have a Black Ice Raddy, with a Maze 2, and a Eheim 1048

I recently bought a Radeon 9700 Pro. I was thinking about getting one of them 80mm mini's for my 9700 Pro. Decided against that...

Here's what I want to run in my rig..

I'll have 2 harddrives, 1 floppy, 2 cd/dvd roms, 1 LCD displayer (similar to Digidoc but better).

I want to get a case that I will have to do little to no modding to get my setup installed and working. I was thinking of going with a PC-75.

I'll probably also want to run 2 radiators, or one big radiator... I was thinking of using my current blackice for my Radeon 9700, and getting another Radiator for my CPU. I don't want to run dual pumps, so how I could hook the system up so that its similar to 2 watercooling setups being pushed by one pump. I'll probably get rid of my 1048 and get the larger 1200 I think it is... I'll probably also be putting in a resevoir to...

As far as waterblocks I was thinking of just keeping my Maze2 block, but it uses 3/8" fittings as does my blackice.

If anyone has any info that would be great, I wanna keep this is cheap as possible. Don't wanna get to spendy, otherwise I'll just buy a prometia and call it good

I would probably do all this in my PC-65 but its just kinda small, I like the case just cause its nice and small, but I don't want it cramped in there, and make it difficult to get at my hardware.

Thanks for anyhelp, and just a reminder my current setup, is a 3/8" silicon tubing, blackice original, eheim 1048, cooling an AXP 1900 @ 10x174 1.825 vCore (about all my 1900 has, without jacking the voltage up) I would like lower temps so I can run higher vcore, up to about 1.9 vcore my system seems to do good, once I get higher my temps reach up into 50-55C + catagory. Although I don't know what everyone else runs in the w/c rigs running 2.0-2.2 vcore.

Thanks again!
