Flow question for Cross Fire setup.

So I plan on getting a Cross Fire rig built after Vista launches.
So I drew up a little diagram showing what I observed of the classic CPU and 1 GPU
watercooling setup, and three ideas I have for a multi GPU setup.

Will all of these three ideas work provided I get the right equipment?
Is there a pump strong enough and tubing thick enough to pull off idea C?
Is there a flow setup that I have not thought of here?
Did I color code the water correctly? Does warm + warm + warm = hot?

I would like to fit most (hopefully all) of these components inside an Armor case from Thermaltake.
I plan on getting the 620 Watt Liberty PSU from Enermax btw.

setups A and B are both fine, if you plumb things up properly. C is not a good idea: the part that needs the most cooling doesn't usually get enough flow because of the differing flow resistances of CPU and GPU blocks.

i would use plastic fittings instead, just to cut down on weight.
