Full custom watercooling loop, or another two GPUs?

So, given the choice between a full custom loop in a Corsair 540, or a second 290X to sit in my main PC, and a third 280X to sit in my mining PC, which would you choose? Both options come in at around £700 or so.

On one side I'd love to mess about with watercooling again, but on the other, my Silverstone FT02 is a very capable case and the increased power offered by more GPUs and returns on mining are also advantageous. Saying that, not sure I could cope with the noise of two 290X's at 100%.

Well if I am doing it, I'm going for the Phanteks case. But, I am holding off for now, and buying another 280X for mining. It is returning me decent money right now, and watercooling won't.

Difficult to tell, but in two weeks or so I have over £100. But my rigs have been on and off and I've had internet issue etc.
