seeking advice

Hello all,
I'm looking to water cool my pc with the goal of making it
as quiet as possible and in the future keeping it quiet while
overclocking my system when I decide to upgrade.

I'm going to put everything in an external enclosure so space
won't be a problem. I'm currently planning getting:
pump: Iwaki WMD 20-RLZT
CPU wb: Swiftech MCW462
heatercore: 2-342 69-72 Chevy Truck BLAZER / JIMMY
reservoir: homemade
In the future I'll add a GPU wb and maybe also for the
harddrive. Is the pump overkill? Would an Eheim 1250
do ok? Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the link, wj. After reading many positive posts about the Maxijet I
decided to give it a shot.

Fixittt,
I'm going to wait until I get the parts and go from there. Seems like it might be
easier to work with an external enclosure if I decide to move it to another case.

I didn't see that review rate the Iwaki you were looking at, but from what I've gathered, the Iwaki you were looking at is just about the best pump you can have for watercooling. Anything bigger would be overkill. The biggest downside of the Iwaki series is the price, they usually toll in at twice the cost of the competition. If you are going for a quiet system, the japanese Iwaki models(MD instead of WMD), have the same flow but are supposed to be quite a bit quieter.
