I am looking into getting back into water-cooling and I am still uncertain as to exactly what I am going to use. I am going to get a new case in the process as I have outgrown my current case. The case I decided on is the Chenbro SR107. For those of you not familiar with it, pics are below. If they belong to anyone here, I hope they don't mind me using them here.

I am going to mount a 240mm radiator on the top panel, that much I know for sure. I wanted to use an aquatube, but the case limits the areas I can mount it. I have thought about mounting on the side panel in the upper right corner of the motherboard compartment, but then I would have to fight the tubing anytime I open the case. There is no room on the front or top panels. My current idea is using an Eheim pump with a Tank O Matic plug-on.
As far as parts go, I am looking at Aqua Computer blocks. Problem is, I would like to use 8mm Compression Fittings which means I would have to use Innovatek GPU blocks and figure out something custom for the chipset.
The real problem is the pump. I would like to use a 12v pump, but the Aqua Computer Eheim pump would be a hassle because of a lack of space for the bay controller. The best solution would probably be to use the Innovatek 12v pump and change the fittings to Plug and Cool. Anyone know if the Fitting on the Tank O Matic can be easily replaced? What is the probability of leaks with Plug and Cool compared to compression fittings?
For the Radiator I am looking at the Black Ice Pro X-Flow as the staggered fittings would make routing the tubing easier.
Here's a rundown of what I am thinking of for blocks.
Aqua Computer Cuplex XT CPU block
2x Innovatek Cool-Matic NV40LT
Chipset ???
Aqua Computer RAMplex
Final question. I am running an Asus A8n-SLI Premium, and I have a spare Deluxe as a backup. Would I be better off water-cooling the mosfets or using the heatsink from the Deluxe?
