Yeh Fixitt is sending one of his blocks to me.

well, thanks guys, I also ordered some h1a's with the bigmama. I'm not sure weather I should mount the summab in the front down low or above the psu. Any tips? I's realy like to mount it above the psu but it may be too much head for my pump. Well, I guess I'm gonna get 4 threaded rods of one of those specified sizes and mount a fan on each side and prolly get some duct tape and semi-duct them there. Thanks a lot guys. Your help is much appreciated. Hopefully my 120mm blowhole kit and a few 120mm fans(at least 2 120mm blowholes up top probably 2 on the side above the mobo and cards too) will help me along in having better temps and higer overclocks!!

The front of the caser drawing in cold air will definatly afford a cooling advantage.

Otherwise the height in a closed loop doesn't make any differance. The affects of gravity are balanced on the rise and fall of the water. Head height is when you are raising fluid from one height to another, but with the pressure from the return waters gravity it balances and you will only be concerned with circulation and the affects of your systems restrictions.

thank you for clearing that up!! so, should I cut out those silly drive cages and put 2 120mm fans in the front for it? Or duct 2 dedicated fans to it up above the psu(intake from the back exhaust out the top) as I had origionaly planned? Or both?

Sounds good Joe

that block should be able to compete with the new and revised maze2 (hopefully).

alegedly it's supposed to be better, someone on hardforums is talking about puting dual 172w pelts one one, and as you know, maze2 is not good for this task.
