Ok I have gotten a little more funding so I can hopefully complete my project soon. Here is the project thread:

The last pump I had decided on was the Iwaki 20RZ (Japanese version), although I have heard that the Velocity T Series of pumps are quiter. My main concern is that Iwaki has 5/8" Hose barb connections, and the T2 that I want has 3/4" male NPT connectors. I was thinking that if the T2 is designed for a larger bore system thanthe pressure might hurt the pump after a while, or worse yet cause the pump to operate at a higher DB level.
So my question is what pump would you use if you wanted performance for the below setup ( with possibly a few more waterblocks in the future), while keeping noise from pump at its lowest possible DB?

1 NB Waterblock ( DD Danger Den Z-Chip Block )
Fans: Six 120X25mm Aluminum Fans

Approximate Tubing lengths:
5/8" Tubing: 2-2.5'
1/2" Tubing: 1.5-2.5'
# of 90 degree turns:
3/4" Schedule40 Pipe: 4 (on each side of quick disconnects)
T's:
1/2" Copper T's: 2 (on inlet and outlet of radiators)
Y's:
1/2" Hose adapter Y (after CPU block)
Anyone care to estimate the Head that will give me, and the resultant expected flow with the two pumps we are comparing?
