(when choices are available, i'd take the easier on shipping charges / price)
Case: Cube (YY for example) or self made (with alu sheets and profiles)
Pump: Eheim 1250 (i do not know better for this price, in Europe)
Tubing: 1/2" Tygon + rigid PVC for fixed portions
Rad: 2 DTek heatercores, or those neat british rads ('The deep' x2 or its double size counterpart) - run passively and in parallel.
A small airtrap. Maybe the Aquatube, for the great looks - modded to 1/2" of course. Placed vertically, at top, for refilling.
PSU: Deltatronic 360W fanless
CPU block: either DTek TC-4, or Spiral, or Dangerden Maze3, or Paul Vodrazka's block, or AC CuPlex Evo modded to 1/2"
GPU block: Dangerden Z-block or AC Twinplex
NB block: Either Zalmann passive, or AC Twinplex, or DDen Z-block
HDD block: DTek's one, sandwiched between two X15.3, themselves wrapped in thick insulation, the whole 'box' being suspended with rubber o-rings.
Everything would have 1/2" nylon fittings.
No TEC - too much trouble (insulation, specific PSU..). And i do not care about extreme OCing.
Everything would fit into the case so i could take it to LANs. The rads would be exposed and horizontal of course (fittings upward, to avoid trapping bubbles) and exposed on the top side, for optimal convection. Maybe a "naval aircraft wing" like configuration, with hinges to flap em back for transportation.
The pump would be suspended as well, and put at bottom near the purge valve (Eheim ball valve, neat and leak free).
This is a rich man's setup indeed. But zero fan, zero noise.
If i didnt care about fans, i'd take 2 PAPST 4412 N/2GL - one for each rad, keeping the 'flap-wing' and having the fans blowing vertically (upwards...)
