Hi guys,

I think I've more or less got the spec of my proposed WC build sorted, but would really appreciate some feedback before I order anything. It's going to be a beast of a machine which will run two loops but share a Typhoon Reservoir System.

It will be cooling:

* Overclocked i7 chip (currently a 920 with D0 stepping)
* ASUS Rampage II Extreme motherboard
* Two big, hot Nvidia cards (target is to be able to cool dual-GTX 295's)

This is my complete list, so if I'm missing anything - even a screw or a connector or something tiny - please tell me. Also if you have any thoughts on requests I can add when ordering my case mod, or suggestions on making it an easy-to-drain-without-making-a-total-mess setup, again please tell me as this is my first time using watercooling and I am rather nervous.

Silverstone TJ07 Case with following mods:
·Mobo cuts for rear (CPU) plate and cables {take away sharp edges with neoprene rubber}
·Cuts for the wires from the end of the motherboard
·Cut at the bottom of the drive bays for wiring to fan controller
·Side Window
·Reduce sound/vibration
·Need an easy-to-drain setup somehow
·ROOF MOD (to fit Black Ice GT Stealth)

Radiators:
120.3 Thermochill PA radiator (CPU and motherboard)
120.4 Thermochill PA radiator (GPUs)
120.3 Black Ice GT Stealth (to go in roof)

ThermoChill PS120.3 Radiator Performance Shroud (15mm fitment)
ThermoChill PS120.4 Radiator Performance Shroud (15mm fitment)

Pumps:
Typhoon III Reservoir System - PEC w/Laing D5

CPU and Motherboard:
Heatkiller 3.0 Copper
EK-Mosfet ASUS X58 KIT
EK-FB RE2 Rampage II Extreme

Misc:
5 1/4 to 3 1/2 bay convertors for HDDs
10x 120mm Noctua Fans
At least 10’ (3 metres) of TYGON ½” ID Tubing

2x Anti algae
2x Distilled water

4x G3/8 1/2" barbs
18x G1/4 1/2" barbs

10x Hose clips
6x Velcro pads

4x Black thumb screws
 
where are you fitting the Thermochills.. think you would have trouble fitting both in bottom compartment without the shrouds+fans on!! i suppose it matters if you are keeping the PSU inside the case or not! might be worth looking at using a PA140.3 and a 480 GT stealth in the roof. you don't actually state what the GT will be cooling!
i have a 360 GT stealth and a PA 120.3 but i only have one GFX card, mobo and CPU being cooled and the temps are good.


are you doing double or single loop?
 
Radiators:
120.3 Thermochill PA radiator (CPU and motherboard)
120.4 Thermochill PA radiator (GPUs)

That's now changed to one .4 (GPUs) and one .3 so it can all fit in the bottom alongside a PSU. And yes, it is a dual loop.

I'm having doubts about this Typhoon as it'll effectively combine the heat of all the components, thus negating the point of a dual loop. If anyone could provide me with some recommended alternatives that would be great. :)
