WC Advice Needed

Hello guys, ive finally decided to take the plunge into proper watercooling after purchasing a reserator about a year ago. I have devised the following spec:

CPU Block - Swiftech Apogee
GPU Block - Danger Den Maze 4
Pump - Danger Den D5
Radiator - Thermochill PA120.2
Tubing - 1/2" Clearflex

This will be used to cool a Newcastle 3500+ and a X800XT, (possibly an Opty 165 in the near future) will two Nexus fans (37CFM each) be adequate to cool these with a bit of room for overclocking? Also has anyone got any experience with a thermaltake tsunami, where is the best place to mount the rad?

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated,

Alex

Ok im going to place the radiator in the top of the case, will this really only take up one drive bay because i read somewhere else it would take two? Also has anyone got any rough idea how the nexus fans at a total 74CFM will perform with the cpu and gpu in the loop? i.e will i have room to overclock either/both?

Ok im going to go ahead and order it, does the thermochill rad come with barbs or do i have to order seperately? Also is it worth buying a dangerden fillport, or just stick to a regular t-line?

Ill have a look into the TDX aswell then

One last question, If i am mounting the rad at the top, should the fans be pulling air through the rad into the case, or pulling air from inside the case through the rad? i.e should airflow be into or out of the case?

Disaster, the thermochill 120.2 wont fit in the top of my Thermaltake Tsunami case. I was looking at the Akasa Eclipse 62 as a replacement, will it fit in this case?

Well rather than ordering a new case, i replaced the PA120.2 with two PA120.1 s so i can mount one on the back and one up in the top. Cost a bit more but was less than buying a whole new case. This shouldnt affect performance right?
