My first attempt @ a custom case

[Stryder75]

I have decided it is time for me to make a custom case for myself. I wanted to get some feedback from you all on my design and layout of WC parts.

I just recently upgraded my Core2 system to an i7 setup and for now am running everything in a lian-li v1000 plus II case with a single 120 loop for the CPU as this was my previous setup.

I want to build the new case to, #1 give me a little more space for more WC parts & upgrades and #2 to have a nice clean custom looking PC.

Here are a few rendered images of the case & the purposed WC loop:

WC loop: pump -> rad -> CPU -> GPU -> res -> pump

Here is the list of parts to be used in the case:
PC components:
ASRock x58 extreme MB
i7 920 (going for 4Ghz 24/7 OC)
ATI 5870 (going for 975/1300 24/7 OC)
Patriot Torqx 128 SSD (OS & games)
WD caviar black 640GB HDD (storage & apps)
Slot loading DVD drive

WC components:
Swiftech D5 pump with Bitspower D5 pump mod top
XSPC RX480 4x120 rad with Scythe GT 1600-1800 rpm fans
Bitspower water tank multi-Z 250 res
Swiftech GTZ CPU block
EK 5870 GPU block (nickel & acrylic)
PrimoFlex PRO LRT tubing 3/8" ID x 5/8" OD
Bitspower G1/4 1/2" high flow fittings


Thanks for all the input and comments you all can give and if all goes well, I can start a worklog to show the progress.

920 @ 4Ghz --> 5870? Wouldn't it be better to split the rad layout from 1x480 to 2x240 one before the cpu and one after to cool before the 5870?
