hello, i'm planning on setting up water cooling for my system, and wanted to post what I have for a system and what I was looking at getting for the water cooling so I could find out from more experienced people if it will be adiquate for my system, my main reason for going to water cooling is to cut some of the noise down as between 8 fans and 2 HD's it's fairly noisy, however I may over clock it some as well, not positive yet though.

anyways this is my current system for what I wanted to cool with the water cooler, I was planing on cooling both CPU's, the bios chip (the fan on this is noisy as hell), and the video card, posibly the HD's too, but likely not.

motherboard:
Microstar (MSI) K7D Master (MS-6501)

processor:
dual althlon MP 2000+

video card:
geforce 4 ti4400 128mb

this is what I was looking at getting for water cooling components, planing on doing a 1/2' system.

pump:
Eheim 1250
110/120V - 317 GPH

radiator:
Black Ice Xtreme

waterblocks:
MAZE3 Series Blocks

the radiator will be baffled from the rest of the system pulling cooler air from outside, my main question is, is this enough cooling for a dual processor setup, would a 2nd radiator be required, and if the single radiator is enough when I run it to the CPU's do I do them inline, or do I split the line with a T to go to each at the same time and then merge back together with another T, and if I split with a T do I split from 1/2" down to 2 3/8" so all the flow doesn't end up going to just one side and not the other?
