Im about to set up dual loops and I was planning on just running both rads externally (well not mounted) and not worrying about it looking good but I decided I would like it to look good if I can afford it so what do you think of this sketch ?

Please change it and re upload it if you can, I also need help with tubing management, not sure how this will work

Help will be greatly appreciated

BTW I know the rad mounting method isnt the most efficiant but I dont really care about the temps on the 2nd rad

wow an hour with 4 views...... I guess it is 4 am over here

Anyway so far this is what I have come up with, I will need to remove my HDD Cage to do this but thats ok, it comes out easily

I'd expect cool air being blown through the rad not hot air.

If you're going two loops, where is the second res or t-line?

I don't know if that air tight seal is going to help except to force the 2nd rad to take all it's (warm) air from the 1st rad. You may have better results with a gap.

Reservoir should feed the pump. You have it dripping into the GPU and SB. (I suppose relying purely on gravity could work, but wouldn't be as much pressure)

Loop design doesn't really matter - just go with the shortest tube lengths taking into account the previous point.

Right, loop design doesn't matter. It therefore doesn't matter where the reservoir is after the loop is :). Feeding the pump helps during the bleed cycle, but you don't lose performance later on by having it elsewhere since flow is constant. My reservoir is being fed by the pump aha.

Uhm, OP: First off, you DO know that with 9 fans this is going to be one hell of a loud setup right?

Why don't you just put it all into one loop, with a single top-mounted triple radiator, and an extra 120mm radiator somewhere else in the loop? Like, in a front intake or rear exhaust? A single 8800GTX and a quad Conroe, plus a NB and SB will be easily cooled with a single triple radiator, let alone a triple and a single...
 
My QX6700 keeps my BIP360 warm with 3 75 CFM fans on it, no way im adding a GTX to this loop :)
