The pump is definately a weak link, but it fit into my plans so perfectly I had to use it. Its only 90CFM and the head is only 20 inches I think. But I only needed a head of a few inches, so I wasn't worries about it too much.
Working with something this small you have to expect compromizes, so I was thrilled that I was still able to get the overclock that I did. When I started, I was worried it wouldn't cool as well as the ICE.
Yes, I can still fit AGP card in there. I run it with a 9800np without any problems.
I know the 90 degree bends rub everyone the wrong way, but I was still trying to keep it as small as possible. That was just personal preference. I wouldn't have minded if f the tubing went up, or farther back, but I didn't want to make the Shuttle any wider, because I might makd the mistake of catching it on something when I moved it. So yeah, I ended up limiting the flow an an already weak pump. But that was why I also chose the dual 120mm fans and the big assed radiator. Its not ideal, but it still works well.
