So heres the deal, I have a dual Opteron file server that I plan to water cool and I would like some suggestions. I am only going to be cooling the cpus. I also want to stick two barb blocks...not a big fan of triple barbed blocks.

Brief system specs:

AMD Opteron 250 (2)
Tyan s2882 motherboard
Lain Li V2000
Lots of IDE hard drives

My intent is to simply quite the box down and tame the heat generated by the cpus as the rest of the system is fairly generic and does not generate any notable heat spikes.

The sloution i am currently considering would be to take a BIX II dual 120mm radiator and mount it externally on the rear of the chassis. Leaving me with a cycle looking like this, pump>cpu1>cpu2>rad>pump.

So suggestions on blocks for a config like this would be much appreciated. Pics of similar configs would be even better.

Thanks.
