...or why I really need a bigger case.
I got everything to fit, just about. Although I can add more cards, all drive bays are full.
The pump's location is dictated by the three 80mm intake fans in the bottom of the side panel which were left over from previous air cooled systems.
The side exit radiator works just fine, except the cats like to sit against it to get the warm air coming out. Never mind that it's 75-80F indoors, and almost 100F outside!
I'm pleased with the result of my first watercooler. Right now, room temperature is 80F, case temp is 85F and the CPU (Duron 750 at 900, 1.625V) at 100% load is 102F. Before I do any more, I want to get a larger case; at the moment it's a toss-up between the Lite-On FS020 and the Yeong-Yang YY0221. I'm favoring the Lite-On for it's three 120mm fan mounts, but the YY has more expansion possibilities. Decisions, decisions... Now if someone would hire me soon, I'll be able to get on with my projects.
