This will be my first water cooling effort, and is quite ambitious.

What I want to do is build a water cooling system with the heater core, fans and pump in a module that sits in my window. in the winter it will suck cold air in the house through the heater core
In the summer I will turn the fans around and blow the air outside.

The window is about the same level as the computer that will be cooled, but the distance is about 23 feet from the back of the PCs to the window.

Now I need a recommendation for a "super pump" that can pump enough water over 50 feet (there and back) and also be able to cool 2X CPU (in different machines) and also 2 Video cards (hot ones, 9500 pro and 9800 pro 256) this is to cool and quiet what I have rather than to attempt more overclocking.

I figure i will have simple spinner flow meters and some kind of adjustable valve to make sure both systems get the same amount of flow.

Can you run 2 pumps in parallel to boost the output? what if one fails.

Thanks for any help.
