I'm trying to design an external housing for the WC of my HTPC. If you can give me any suggestions, it would be greatly apprecated.

D. Purple - 5.25" Fan Controller (Sunbeam most likely)
Green - 120mm Panaflo L1A Intake Fan
Red - Black Ice GTS 240 w/ 3x Panaflo L1A
Blue - Swiftech Microreservoir
L. Purple - Silver DD Fillport
Orange - Swiftech MCP655
Black - PSU
Tan - Interconnect Barbs
Grey - Mesh for better air flow

An issue I am having is how do start the PSU without using a mobo and just a power button. Ideally, I want the kit to "boot up" when the HTPC boots up, so if there was some sort of relay kit, that would be great. If not, I am content with just having an individual power button.

Also, should I include handles on it and make it a portable WC kit in case I want to use it on more than just one PC or would that make it look tacky?
 
connect pin 13 on your computer's PSU's 24-pin connector to pin 13 on your waterbox's PSU's mobo connector, and do likewise for pin 14.

And I'd suggest Swiftech's MCR series if you're going for low noise, which I'm assuming from this proposed setup being used for an HTPC.
 
will do and im thinking about just throwing away the psu idea and getting a multiport and 12v extention.
 
I revamped the design to improve airflow.
