Get Gentle Typhoons.   Reviewed here.

 
Allow me to make a different suggestion, the high speed version.

Put them on a good fan controller to keep the noise down, and then you have the ability to go higher for benching.

Noise is an issue. The "gentle" typhoons are not really that at 50 decibels, especially considering I would have 24 of them. I am looking for low noise, high rpm, 100+ cfm, possibly a led.

A gtx 480 would not work, as my front panel is

Sorry I was typing as you were posting so I missed your explanation. To be honest I'm so dedicated to getting rid of the heat quietly I can't really get my head around the idea of spending a bunch of money to move air and water and just end up moving the heat to the other side of the computer case wall. If you are anticipating running this beast on an O.C. for extended periods the room that you dump the heat into is going to continually warm up and degrade your cooling performance  unless you've got a really huge space or don't mind running your A/C just to cool that room. Dozens of high speed fans moving a couple of thousand cubic feet of air per minute is not going to be quiet as long as the fans are anywhere in the room.

I can only use a 120 mm btw.

Deltas that I've used are solid, but quite loud. The issue of adequate again depends on where. Your rad selection is a good place to start. Some are made for high air flow (read that noisy) and some are for lower less turbulent flow (quiet). Start by looking at the heat load that you have to deal with and the type of usage that this rig will see. Over clocking can double the heat beyond the component's original design temp so deciding ahead of time just how hard you're going to work or push this thing is where it all starts. Then decide where your rads will mount and whether you're going to try and contain everything inside the case or not. Koolance and some others have stand alone units as well as externally mounted gear that can help save case space. If water is carrying the heat away from the M.B., CPU's, video cards and memory than your case cooling needs diminish greatly. What are the ambient temp conditions where this thing will be used. Are you sitting in a south facing (assuming northern latitudes) solarium without A/C or in a subterranean man cave that doubles as a lagering room?  Gather your design heat load data and evaluate your setting first. Then you can see just how many watts/Btu's you have to move and where it's going to have to go. There is no real pat answer for every build when you're playing at this level. A pair of these O.C.'ed could heat a small house if ya wanted, but it doesn't have to to be able to give you an awesome amount of computing power.

Those gentle typhoons only are about 60 cubic meters per hour, about 30 cfm. That is not a lot. I Am in a home office with central a c and heat. What do you think about kaze 3000rpm for the 3 fan front panel rad and silenex 72 cfms everywhere else with the swiss cheese panel? How would that fair for benches and moderate ocing?

You don't need to move that much air through the radiator to achieve decent temps.   If its assumed that 2 overclocked CPUs will generate ~800 watts, then ~1800 RPM fans mounted on just one triple radiator, you'll get a descent delta of 10-15-degrees:

 
If you use two radiators (400 watts per radiator) you'll get much lower deltas.
 
 
 
 
 

P.s. I like the silentx because of its high airflow, but it seems they have a high failure rate. Are there any good quiet fans with a high cfm? What is a good cfm for the case?

Halo_003

Excellent fans, I have a bunch of them in my rig.

yes, excellent. dems are great Cooler Masters.

I'm not a fan of clear or colored tubing. I like opaque/black for tubing, but it's a personal choice. In terms of lighting, there are so many ideas to explore. Take your time looking at mod rigs for ideas.

Any suggestions? Halo?
Should I test my WC not connected to anything, than attach the waterblock, etc? 
Where do I mount my pump? 

if you are using Halo 003's design for you, then you mount the pump in a 5.25" bay. The reservoir should be above or bottom at same level as the pump (reservoir should also be easily accessible for filling and draining, away from computer parts).

Pics or it didn't happen

I have assembled the MM case.
BUT THERE IS A PROBLEM!
As you know, the strider is ~10 lbs!
Can the case support that, it just screws in with 4 screws!!

The PSU is snug. There is not chance this will move!
I got my 56k modem today!
I will order the xeon x5690 when it comes out on Mon.
