It is an opteron 165 system for overclocking.

Lian Li V1200 black. Will mod the hell out of it, acrylic and mesh (for air flow) windows will be installed. May also install a 4" lcd on the top or side.

black ice xtreme 2 dual 120mm radiator- will install in the HDD cage area with mesh panel on side if case for exhaust and acrylic or sheet metal cold air intake from the bottom of case.

lian Li 2x 5.25" bay to 3x hdd bay converter with 80mm intake fan (since I will be gutting the hdd cages)

Radiator cooled by 2x or 4x yate loon fans with acrylic shrounds.

Swiftech storm CPU waterblock.

T-line (I plan on making an aluminum housing where off the single T-fitting, multiple lines will branch off and extend to the top of case for holding extra fluid, the fitting will be installed inside the housing and you will see the lines coming in and out. This is for asthetics only really.

Danger Den NvV-78 waterblock???? I can't decide if it is worth it, when I upgrade cards I don't want to be stuck with a $125 block I can't use again. Also, will this work on the gtx 512 card?

D5 or my current polaflo pump.

1/2" ID tubing and red uv dye. I will try to keep everything black except for the water coolant and a few accents.

Looks good to me, Sir. One thing to consider, push/pull makes your rad harder to clean well. The MAYBE 1-2c improvement is thoroughly offset by having a dirty rad. The GTX 512 variant of the NV78 is a different animal, BTW.

yeah you prbably dont need to do a push/config for your system. i would pick up the D5 pump and instead of the NV78, i would go for the DD maze 4 or Silverprop Cyclone FusionHL and get some OCZ copper ramsinks as well.

Last time I heard DD was in the process of making one.
