RE the bleeding problems, you need to be prepared to work with the system a bit. I have a watercooled YY Cube, and I spent a couple hours when I set it up bleeding it. Let the pump run a couple minutes. Bubbles accumulate in the high points. Turn pump off and gently tilt the case to guide the bubbles to where you can get rid of them. You may need to tilt to some extreme angles, so make sure your water cooling components are well mounted and there are no leaks at those angles. Add a little more coolant. Repeat.

You can bleed these systems almost no matter what the configuration, and with clear tubing, you can see where the bubbles are.
