Looks pretty decent to me. Heres a bit o' advice though, read tons of water cooling guides. There is like a billion and half when you google it. :)

Also, I've probably answered just about every question you will ever have in these forums. So take a look through "The Ice Box".

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I might be feeling lazy today, but who knows? Maybe tomorrow I'll wright three pages on which pump you should use or ten pages on what kind of clamp is best. ^_^
