Unless the OP1000 was going to power a TEC I think you should've stuck with the M12+ but you'd have to sodder wires together in order to power the TEC.

im actually agreeing with you on this statement as well. And yes some say the Dtek block will work, however i honestly dont see exactly how. The flow rates arent nearly as good as the swiftech tec blocks.

And yeah the OP1000 is just rediculous. The reason why i cant get my rig up is because of all the extra non used cables getting everywhere. Not to mention tubing for 3 pumps is simply out of control.

I got the OP1000 more for Bling bling, and cuz i got a bit power greedy. :T Call me human for being greedy.

I was thinkn of powering the TEC's with its own PSU. Thats the biggest impression i get, also to isloate the tec blocks on its own loop. Thats is why i went with the annoying 3 pump design. 1 pump to pump the tec's, the other 2 to pass flow.

Im trying to TEC my system slowly. First start on a waterchiller using 2 hd waterblocks connected to TECs. Then i'll try to grow some balls and bust out the vasaline and dielectric gels to insulate my board. But right now, i dont feel confrotable spreading that crap all over the caps and stuff.

Anyhow, no testing will be involved until i decide on what roadmap i want my QX to be on. My opty is going out to my cousin pretty soon, so i need her running up asap.

If the wires are causing that much trouble, cut out a little bit like maybe a 1"x4" of the bottom of your case a bit in front of the PS then slide the wires under it. If you have casters or room underneath as I think you had a TJ07 it will work. Either tape the wires down underneath or create a little pocket for them to be in. Should work. I believe you'll use the larger cabling so all the small cabling will be right on the bottom. Ugly if you don't create a custom bracket on the bottom but it'll work nonetheless.

Are you TEC cooling the gpu's? the 5002 has better flow? 6002's are harder and harder to find. The 5002 is ok I guess but it seems something that the D-tek would overall cool better if you managed to dissipate all the heat.

yeah i want to tec cool everything when im done.

I already removed one of the 1x4 drive cages at the bottom, if i remove one more ima have to mount the 2 raptor150's up on the front. :\ I already concidered this option but i prefer to have nothing up front. And tubing for a three pump layout is a complete nightmare.

I think i kinda went overboard on the 3 pump layout. Im seriously II <--- that close into tossing the third pump out.
