About the fittings, why didn't you go for cutting and welding/gooping on different fittings? That's what I plan on doing with mine, as it has weird 90's at the inlet and outlet that would make routing tubing difficult. So, I'll just cut 'em off, and goop on some larger barbs (ID of channels is 5/16).

OT: When calculating pressure drop using a specific pump, I saw something on the Lytron pages where you can plot the estimated pressure drop of a cooling loop on a pump's PQ graph and draw a straight line to the origin. Wherever the PQ curve and the line intersect, that gives the actual pressure drop. Is this accurate? Can someone explain how this works? Here's the link.
