I just finish rebuilding my loop, I decided to move from a swiftech MCR320 and a apogee XT rev2 to Black Ice SR1 360 and Raystorm block + some other goodies...
My main goal is a powerful quiet computer and in my old setup I had dual MPC35X pumps running @ 3300 rpm for 0.9 GPM but always found them just a little to loud so i made a few changes to my setup and heres how it turned out.
The Heart of the new system... MPC35X2 + MCP35X
It turned out much better than I had expected, everything really matches color wise and other than a couple of wires i need to sleeve i am pretty happy with the outcome.
The over kill of 3 MCP35X really shows its power when i can run all 3 @ 1200 rpm and get 0.5 GPM or 2000 RPM for 1.0 GPM. If i set them to 100% (4400RPM) I jump to an insane 2.3 GPM.
My old setup with 2 pumps maxed out at 1.4 GPM so the extra pump and less restrictive CPU block helped out alot.
So what do you guys think?

Is the extra 1x120mm rad at the back of the box still necessary? No system specs so I'm not sure what you are trying to cool there. How about a few pics with the room lights on and the side panel open so I can see whatcha got?
