Placing the pump at the top by the resevoir will give you better functioning (your not pushing water uphill).

Hey Liquid, thanks for the added pics. Im still debating on using a resevior, though I think it would help with routing the tubing. If I add the resevior, would I reverse the flow as well? Wouldn't the Pump burn out quicker pumping hot water thru the Top? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

no no, if you add a resvoir, it wouldnt revers the flow. you should always have the resevoir (or T-Line) right before the pump, that way the pump will suck water from the resevoir. nah, the water wouldnt be hot enough to do any damage to the pump, the most your water will ever heat up to is like 45C. i would still just use a T-line.

The "T" line setup is the way Ive decided to go. The clamshell XPS case design would be best suited for as least amount of clutter as possible. I plan to use a DDen Fillport mounted at the top of the case for the T line.
I noticed you(Liquid) have your Radiator Fan conceiled between the RAD and Case. Who manufacturers the Rad Fan? Flow direction Into or Away from the Radiator? CFM rating on 12v? Thanks.

T-Line with DD Fillport would would very nicely with your case. i use a 120mm Panaflo L1A. This is a very quiet fan, so the CFM isnt that great. Its ~60CFM @ 12v. the fan is blowing out of the case, so it sucks air through the radiator. when you dont use a shroud, its best to have the fan suck air through the radiator, as this (nearly) eliminates deadspots. if you have a fan blowing into the radiator, the middle portion of the radiator wont get any air passing through.
the 120mm Panaflo might be too weak for your setup, since you want to overclock. i would recommend the 120mm Panaflo M1A (87CFM), or the 120mm Panaflo H1A (104CFM) and have a toggle 7v/12v toggle switch.
hows your system coming along?

Nice work. It's the big hmmmmm...now as I think about the possibility of attempting it. My temps are nice now so unless there was a drastic decrease, I might hold off.
Nice post on the pics as well. Good job!!!

Update:
Ive completed all the Parts gathering as of today. The Fan is rated 80CFM @ 30DB .38A. I needed some time to get a battleplan together, and some "bigger" tools. Some serious dremel action is about to take place. My Target date for Install is Saturday, which may get pushed forward;D
Ill keep you guys posted.

Would UV Dye from Autozone work so long as it was for Antifreeze type cooling as planned?
I forgot to order it, plus it was $8 bucks vs. Autozone Antifreeze equivalent.
DangerDen $8.99+Shipping__________Napa Autoparts $3.29+Drive Time ******************  You be the Judge? T.RoW

Right after I posted, I clicked the www.Voyeurmods.com in the Banner Ads on this forum on the Home Page. They had Blue UV Dye for $3.50. And the rest was history.
Pre-Install Thoughts:
The Bottom "Floor" of the HDD Cage will have to be Removed, or at least a Great portion.
The Fillport is gonna depend on the Depth size of the Fan/Radiator. Using the Fan to Secure the Rad/Fan will lighten the Burden for Install. The Fillport will be in close proximity to the Radiator Outlets/Inlets.
The Top of the Case has a "Blue Plastic Cover." This will take some serious modification. Flush Mounting the Fillport to the Blue Plastic would be a pain in the ass for maintance, so Ive decided to take the easy way out and drill it...with a hint of custom bevel;D
For the Exhaust Vent for the Rad/Fan: I haven't decided on whether to Gut the Top vs. Drilling Many Holes Equidistant from each other for the Fan/Rad Exhaust.
Case Fans: 1 Rear 92mm and 1 Intake 92mm will be removed. 80mm Postitioned for RAM Active Cooling.
Pump: Is gonna be the Only part of the Entire Setup that will be on the Clamshell Part of the Case that Opens. For this reason the Pump install will be...interesting.
Bottom Line:
I cant wait to cut this thing up. Oh the sounds of High RPM's and Cutting Disc's...
