ok, think I have decided what i'm gona get now for parts, gona be going with a P4 3.0 so gona be cooling the CPU, HD's, video card and northbridge, here's what i'm gona use for parts, got one question on it though.

pump: Eheim 1250 or Hydor L30
CPU block: whitewater
GPU block: maze 4
HD block: home made
northbridge: ?, noticed they use an odd retention mechinism for the pentium northbridge, are there any chipset blocks made specificaly for it?
rad: 2X D-Tek Pro-Core

i'm gona run it res > pump > CPU > northbridge > rad1 > GPU > HD > rad 2 > res

my question is with that many blocks plus the height it will need to travel in the case, 2 feet, will the pump be enough, I know the heater cores are low restriction compaired to other rads, the HD block i'm making will be 1/2 ID thru the entire thing with 2 sweeping elbows so will be low restriction as well, but the height, CPU, GPU, and northbridge are definatly going to affect the flow by a signifcant ammount, so should I go with a larger pump such as the Eheim 1260, or 2 of the above pumps, or will 1 of the above pumps be sufficent?
