Update:
So I figured I'd give an old thread a bump and start a new project.
I still haven't finished my old HAF932 build, and it's already getting ripped apart. I need more room in both my Q6600 and i7 builds, so I'm swapping cases and rebuilding a bit. Currently:
Q6600 in P182 with modified MCR320 top
Core i7 920 in HAF932 with PA 120.3
But I want to add a second loop to the Core i7 build (or just make the loop larger. My temps are fine), and I want to mount the MCR320 internally. So this is the plan:
I love my HAF932 and I found something to replace it. The CM ATCS RC-840. Basically a nicer looking Aluminum version of the HAF932. No side vents, but it has a 230mm intake and 2x 230mm exhausts and a 120mm exhaust, removable motherboard tray, and two internal 120mm mid-fans. My plan is to mount my PA 120.3 up top again in the RC840, and see if I can squeeze a TFC X240 on the two front fans. If not, just a Swiftech MCR220. Replace the MCP655 with the MCP355 w/ XSPC top from my Q6600 loop, and pick up a second MCP355 with XSPC top. Depending on case case, I would see loop order. I would also pick up another Swiftech MCW60-B Rev 2 for my second SLI'd GTX260. This way I can crank these suckers up to 700/1512/1040 and get great temperatures.
Then the Q6600 would be moved to the HAF 932 and instead of its MCP355, it would get the old MCP655 since it only has an ApogeeGTX and EK-FC88GT. It would be almost exactly like LOUISSSSS's build. HAF932, MCR320, Swiftech ApogeeGTX block (he has GTZ), EK-FC88GT (he has his on an 8800GT. I have the GTS512), and a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P board.
Then the old server, the E6400, would be put into the P182. Only aircooled for now. Since it's underclocked to 1.6GHz and only running a web, VM, and file server (4 VMs. XP and a few Linux distros). I would have to find a replacement top for it.
Damnit Aigo.

So I'm redoing my i7 loop to put more components on water and replacing the pumps.
I'm going to be using dual DDC-3.2's and I was wondering at a certain point, is it too much. Using Martin's Flow Rate Estimator, it puts the pressure drop of the loop around 10 PSI and the flow rate at around 2 GPM. Just wondering about flow rate.
Also, just saying I got Aigo'd again. BOLD is NEW.
Res -> MCP355 w/ top -> MCP355 w/ top -> TC PA120.3 -> ApogeeGTZ -> TFC X240 -> MCW60 -> MCW60 -> Res
So yeah. Just wondering. If you post a LMGTFY link, please don't. I've been extremely sick lately (check out the DC BBQ thread) and can't really think straight and a new thread is an easy way to get my question answered.
