Ok been watercooled for the last 2 years and ehre's some advice:
Skip the chipset cooler -- all it does is add restriction to the loop and no real gains, A good passive or even active NB cooler is more than worth it.
Again the ram coolers are nothign more than restriction and basicly bragging rights, some good heatspreaders will more then do the trick. Acording to research done on the ramcooling all they were worth was at max 5mhz more. Besides those coolance ones use bags for contacs, even a person not verywell trained will tell you that plastic doesn't realy conduct heat.
The 6000 series swiftechs were the brazed ones, the 5000 series were 2 peice construction with the bottom being copper and the top aluminum --- corrosion if the anodizing ever wears off.
The appogee is the top block at the moment for pelteir cooling, DO NOT pelteir the storm, it does not have enough flow thru it to handle it and will cook real easy. (the Danger Den TDX is nice but restrictive, that's y those that pelteir them use the silver version)
Other than that your choices are excelent, oh here's a tip if you are using 1/2" id everywhere, get 7/16" tubing and soak it in hot water, makes it stretch and fit over all your fittings, less worries about leaks, it seals air tight and you don't need (but should still use) hose clamps.
BTW before i start getting flamed, check out
www.procooling.com and those guys will testify to everythign i posted here on blocks, restrictions, flows, and they even have testing to back it up
My personal opinion on it.... Never again. It's great, quiet and all but at the rate new hardware comes out, it's just a Pain in the A$$. From socket A to 754, drain system, recut some tubing, replace, refill, test run for 24 hours, mount hardware, Cross fingers. From 754 to 939... same crap even worste cause i changed videocards and my block didn;t support the new card. PAIN IN DA A$$. In fact i haven;t gone AM2 just cause i know i'm going to have to deal with it again.
Every 6 to 8 months you have to flush, rinse, clean the system out (due to algee build up), that's a good 2 days because of dry testing again.
Every 3 to 6 months u have to open it all up and check on water level.
If you have Aluminum and copper in the same loop -- OMFG corrosion like crazzy if any of the annozidation (sp?) wears off.
A good Lian Li case with good airflow, some good choice of cooling producs will give you almost the same cooling and overclock as a water cooling system.
My current system: Dfi ultra-d, opteron 165 @ 2.7, 2 x 1gig crucial ddr500, ati x850xt (Stock).
Water components: Apoggee (Cathar didn;t have any of his new storm blocks in stock yet), swiftech 600 pump, tygon 7/16th tubing, DD drive bay water reservoir, HW Labs Black ice extreme 240 radiator, swiftech mcw50 videocard block.
Temps: idle 24C, load (dual prime 95): 29C, video card under load: 34C
Buddy's system: Lian Li case, dfi expert, opteron 170 @ 2.9, 2x1 gig patriot ram, thermalright xp120, geforce 7800gt 512, with artic cooler Zalman NB cooler (passive)
Panaflow M1A's everywhere on a fan controller.
Temps: Idle 26C, Load 34C. Vidcard 40C.
Noise difference between the 2 systems ... abotu the sound of a regular xbox.
