I would recommend 2 more 120.3 rads (http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0245928%29 to go with the 120.2.  You can put the 120.2 on the backside panel with the PSU, and the triple rads wherever you like (mine are in front) 

so thats 229 for kit, & 59 for each triple rad.  

 
That my man... lots of rads!!!

this way you have extra money for whatever you like... say waterblocks?


Like that killer looking plated Heatkiller!!!

i'm more or less scared of these watercooling "kits"
I do like the idea of the multi rads for lots of cooling.
I'm just completely paranoid about leaking and the fittings, if i can get over the fitting disaster and tubing crap, i'll be okay

i found the rads on newegg, i like doing business with them its a few bucks more, but worth it imo
Would that 1 pump be able to handle 3 rads?

what about the supplied fittings, i'm assuming i'd be replacing all the fittings and tubing with my own? or should i just build my system from scratch? *BRAIN EXPLODES*

I used that kit... and used it for well over a year.  I still use that pump from that kit... that rad.  I used that rez until a few months ago when I made my own.  The fittings I would buy some, but i promise that kit will not do you you wrong.  Plus $59 for a triple rad?? can u go wrong? I have 2 of them.  6 fans on each.  get extra tubing, and fittings, your gpu and north bridge blocks and you are done.

Heya Nate, Overclocker333 recommend a Koolance combo res/pump, its alittle pricey at 200bucks but it may be the perfect solution for me
At the moment i'm still in need of 5870 and 5970 blocks, and Fittings, either compression or 3/8 ID over 1/2 barbs.


@ 200?!?!  heeeck NOOOOOO!!  thats gonna be half your budget?! (half inch gets more flow) you will save ton's just by getting pump and res seperate

 
Well it its definitely overpriced!
 
Now that I look at that setup... it does look restrictive.  But when you think about it... the Swiftech/Delphi pump is 3/8" and it does a great job.... and remember that is the same pump that is in the Koolance res/combo.  On my pumps I have the 3/8" barbs cut off and replaced with 1/2" nylon barbs. I wished that they were original... because I don't think it makes that much difference. 
 
When you think about it... a 1/2" system is reduced to 3/8" at the inside of the barbs... so how much would difference would 7/16" or 3/8" hose over 1/2" barbs make?  I think that would make a good study.  I just like the form factor of that combo and especially the readout.  In a tower case where space is at a premium... it would be slick.  It does however make me want to design a better one for sure!!!
