I'm assembling something like this as now

No pelt but nforce2 board w/the toaster oven chipset. (DO SOMETHING about the SB on the board, mine runs at 65+C (measured NB at about 55-60c)). Until I make my own wb, using swiftech wb for cpu / gpu + DD NB and piece of old copper skived hsf for SB.

If funds permit, look for Chenbro SR103 case (about 180$us, lots of room to work w/). The only way a BIX will handle everything you want to throw at it would require LOTS of AIR (read noisy) I will have 1 heater core for the CPU (8"h x 5.5"h) and a 6" square for the GPU + NB.

Unless you find just the thing, tupperware is your friend for air-trapping (only need about 2-3" diameter, attach one end to the pump intake (inline - see Ph's article about maximizing flow on front page) and other side to radiator).

The loop is only about 1m total for this side so I am going for turbulence in the CPU wb so pump -> wb -> radiator -> res/airtrap/pump. Pump/res will sit on sorbothane mat on bottom of case. Rad sits in front w/ 2 Panaflo H1A 120mm fans drawing into case (lower speeds w/ controller but will push any warm air through case fast enough so as not to add significant heat to rest of the system)

That's enough for now, when I get done will borrow a digital camera to show the world my creation. (Gotta go make the shroud for the rad above in card board for a template to make in AL sheet and learn about the rivet tool....)
