Some questions for first WC setup

[chronotheory]

Ok so I've been doing a lot of research into WC, and thought I'd go with a basic setup for my first go at WC.

Comp Specs:
Gigabyte 3D Aurora Case
AMD 64 X2 4400+
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
eVGA 7800GT 256mb
Antec Truepower 2.0 550w
Corsair XMS (2 x 1gb)
WD 250gb

That's the basics of my setup.

I decided to just play it safe and pick up the H20-220-Apex Ultra + kit from swifttech, seemed like it had everything that would fit my case nicely.

questions:
- Would it be best to mount the rad outside with the radbox, and if so, would it be ok to mount the rad so the input/output is on the bottom? If you look at the case pics, theres two holes already on the case at the bottom to the right of the peripheral slots. I'd really like to run the tubing through there (that way i could just buy my own tubing instead of using the riveted stuff they have to put on the inisde), but i heard that putting rads upside down like that tend to trap air.

- For the heatsinks they supply for the memory on the vid card, what's best to use for applying?


- This asus mobo has the "fanless" cooling for the chipsets, just a pipeline that runs to a heatsink by the CPU, what would be best for removing that? Would the waterblocks supplied be compatible with this mobo? Swifttech says it will, but I just wasn't sure by looking at it.


Any suggetions or help would be greatly appreciated, just wanted to see what other people think. I am open for any suggestions, as this is my first time into WC.

Thanks

*** i would mount the radbox outside the case the have the two holes on top so there isn't any bubbles inside the rad. tubing doesn't really matter in my opinion

****what do you mean? artic silver 5?

***fanless cooling chipsets are fine you don't need to go overboard
