ok if i wanted to cool 2 9800GTX's, a Q9300, and 4gigs DDR2 1066 with the thermaltake armor LCS with 2 added drive bay radiators/extra pump-res; what would be the best way to arrange my loop?

Loop order doesn't matter...

But, thermaltake is a POS company, expect to spring leaks within 6 months.

Can't you get a better company to provide your WC gear?
 
idk i just like the concept of a built in WC'ing system. if you have got better please tell me. the Gigabyte Mercury 3d pro is also pretty appitizing. i dont have the money for the setup right now but its my "dream comp" that i constantly update and i thought it would be good i f i learned more about WC'ing before i actually commit to buying a system that has it.
 
Any of those premade kits you mentioned are pretty terrible. If you want a kit, look at the swiftech APEX or petra's tech kits.
 
i dont really want an external setup though. thats why i was looking at those cases.
 
Imo, the ideal loop is reservoir (if you use one) > pump > rad > cpu > gpu. To me that's ideal, but sometimes spacing and arrangements make it hard to get this loop.
 
The problem with built in systems is that that they almost always under perform (read: worse than air) and are often louder due to cheap components/fans.

There are numerous cases that can mount double or even triple rads without any modification. For example, cooler master 590/690 + cosmos.
 
what about the antec twelve hundred? it looks like it would work but im not quite sure.
