Mega drool looking grand Mr Biffa sah!
Apparently cpu0 runs hotter than cpu1 on these, cpu0 is the one on the right, so although I know that theoretically a loop stabilises in temp over time, I always feel in my water that the first component in the loop after the pump gets cooled more.
I was going to go into cpu1 first (the left cpu) so go:
Pump/res -> cpu1 -> pwm -> cpu0 -> chipset -> rad -> Pump/res
But now I think:
Pump/res -> cpu0 -> cpu1 -> chipset -> pwm -> rad -> Pump/res

Looking very nice Mr Biffa Sir! 
Be very interested in seeing what sort of PPD/Watt this sort of setup produces...
Be very interested in seeing what sort of PPD/Watt this sort of setup produces...
Not my figures but others who are running SR-2's
At peak, no GPU's around 570W and with a P2686 or P2692 160K PPD = 280 PPD/W
On the flip side, folding P6701 around 60K PPD = 105 PPD/W
Weebeastie with a 970 and 4 GTX470s hits 100K with a P2686 and 4 P6811's but eats around 1200W = 83 PPD/W
Give weebeastie a P6701 however and that drops to 72K = 60 PPD/W

That makes my rig really inefficent
I work out 51ppd/w
Thats p5769 on the 8800GT and p6052
Thats 14k ppd pulling 270 watts.

75ppd/w on 6800's
104ppd/w on everything else
that's 11.2k and 15.6k @ 150w
280ppd/w is fantastic - even 105 is good

I'm going to switch from GPUs to i7 bigadv on my server after Christmas I think.

Question!
I was researching a possible SR-2 system and I started off looking for a case, when I came across this article: http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1324/1/
The case is nothing special but they're prototypes, but that is an aside. What I want to know is what the hell have they got cooling the two Xeons! Never seen anything like them before... [second picture]
They shiny!

Oh and you might want one of these:
Lian-Li PC-V2120X
Lian Li PC-V2120B
(not in stock, what I'm using) Lian Li PC-P80B
Or look here as a good place to start

There are some quite nice custom cases on eBay for the SR-2. Not exactly cheap but they look nice, especially the all white one.
Yeah the "LittleDevil PC-V10" looks nice. Danger Den also do one, as do Mountain Mods.
Soldato
Yeah, not a great fan of MM, good for borg cube mods and not much else!

Was looking at the V2120 but hate the door! Bloody stupid idea. Not that it should matter, it will be living in the attic! 
I think I need to switch off my sense of aesthetics while speccing this build!

Hmm, I would believe you Biff if it wasn't for the seriously sexy water blocks you have on yours!
There's a point - I have no experience with building my own WC. Any recommendations on what kit? I would mirror what you have bought but I have a budget to think about [will likely be starting out on air too].

compared to the rest of it the WC stuff is a drop in the ocean 
You could just throw two H70's at it, thats what some guys do.
The niceness of the inside of mine is for me to know Its not that blingy for WC stuff really, you could go blingier

Just wondering how the hell I would squeeze two H70s into a case! I had a mission trying to find a good place for my H50s in both my machines!
Is an excellent idea, though I am wondering if £140 would be better spent towards a proper loop. Argh. Too many ideas not enough money!

Yeah i would be tempted to bung in 2 x h70 but if your spending a pretty penny then you'll forever be...."what if i had bought a proper loop"....go the extra mile you can do it sah

I know absolutely nothing about WC in terms of pricing, so it could be that £140 on two H70s is an absolute bargain compared to what I will need to spend on a WC loop to cool two Xeons.
