Hey everyone, well this is my new project.

here is a list of the parts:

Silverprop Cyclone FusionSL Low Profile GPU Block
D-TEK Fuzion
Laing DCC-2 (if i can get one) or DCC-3.2 w/ Petra's top
Black ICE PRO 120 or Black Ice Stealth PRO 120
T-Line

Ok the reason for the block is because of the size constraints underneath the DVD drive. I have about 2cm to work with. Granted a little cutting/modding may have to be done to make it fit, but it won't be all that much. Most people use the Koolance GPU 180-H06 which sits at about 1.1cm. This block uses 1/4" tubing and will be a big restriction in my loop, hence me not wanting to use it. The Silverprop seems to be the only alternative i have. The CPU block may have to use 90 degree barbs. I am unsure of the radiator positioning. I am really hoping to keep this all on 7/16" ID tubing, but i may have to drop it to 3/8".

The radiator has been chosen because of the height. I could probably use the swiftech 120, but it has the barbs built in, which i don't like. If the Black ICE PRO can handle the heat load, then i would prefer to use that because of height of the rad. I may have to use 90 degree barbs on the top of the petras and on the D-TEK, but i am hoping it won't be needed.

I will be working with aigomorla and Quoc (from petras) on a more revised list of parts.

Any suggestions would be great.

I will do.

Ok some changes have been made, the pump will now be the D-TEK DB-1 since i won't need so much head pressure.

The CPU block is now going to be the Apogee 1U
