Thanks, I might do that. Just get the essentials to get it up and running then add on as I go.

It is going to be a Achievement Hunter Theme, so black and green will be the main colors.

I'm not that good with liquid cooling setup but I made a basic diagram of the way i will put it in the desk. The arrows show the flow of the coolant. Some feedback on this would be great. It would be great. Again I'm sorry for the bad hand-writing, and ignore the misspell I made.
