My goal is to water cool the CPU, IOH, and GPU with the following.

XSPC Rasa 750 RS240 Kit
Koolance CHC-122 (MB) Liquid Cooling Chipset Block
EK Radeon HD 6970 VGA Block
An extra 4' of PrimoChill PrimoFlex Tubing

Never done water cooling before. My ECO is good, but I need cool my 6950. It gets real hot and noisy when gaming. So it's time to get wet for real.

Anxiety tells me to do it all at once, but common sense tells me to do the CPU first and move on. I have no experience in draining and refilling a system like this, so it's a little unnerving.

My current plan has the radiator mounted on the back and the resevoir/pump in the lower front of the case.

Any tips or advice would be appreciated.
This is going to be interesting because the Vulcan is a tiny case. I see you got the XSPC Rasa kit, very nice! My only beef with your choice is that Feser coolant crap. I would recommend Distilled water with PT nuke Biocide. UV coolant does look really cool with uv cathodes but produces a lot of oxidation and other chemical build up within the loops. I can't wait to see some progress.
