so.....basic.

looking to, for my next build, use a basic water cooling loop.

Seeing as this will be my first water cooling attempt, I dont want to go too far and do a GPU + Chipset water cooling loop, not just because it will be too much, but also because I'm not that rich.
my main focus on my build is to make sure I have top cpu and a lot of ram.

The idea is to go with the cpu Loop inside a CM storm scout 2 case.
I dont want to dremal away the bottom HDD cage, but I know that the top cage can be removed, so my thoughts for the loop would be as follows.

dual bayres pump combo, down to 120mm rad up to CPU block then to rear mounted 120mm rad then back to res.

Does this sound like an alright set up for a loop?

as for coolant I was looking at the stuff by Mayhem, and want to have a whole black and white theme to the build (nicknamed "stealth") And was thinking either the pastel, or aurora (aurora just looks sweet as hell)
I plan to clock the 3770k to 4ghz so which coolant would you guys say would perform better at that clock speeds? (if the differnce isnt much then id chose which looks better)
 
My choice was between a Storm scout 2 and a 600t, but I wanted a clear panel (if you have water cooling you at least want to see it right?)
but I dont want a white case (600t only comes with clear side on the white edition and not the black, which sucks)

so the toss up went with the scout 2
 
well main reason i wanted the Scout 2 was becuase it was ideal for taking to lan parties (tend to have one a month round a friends house)

what would you guys say to the corsair vengeance case?
 
well, cheers for that. that pastal stuff looks like it would be a better choice indeed.

The idea would be to do a Black White theme.

I liked the vengance case, but i aready nicknamed the build "stealth" so ideally wanted a case with nice flowing lines in the design.
Athough the blocky army style case would match my desk (As my desk is covered in camo vinyl)
