Not the best way to get help around here... There are several very knowledgeable people here who can definately point you in the right direction that dont fit into either of those categories.

yeah, I agree, don't limit who can respond and who can't. Plus, Don't add Help>>>>>!!!! to the title of your post, it makes you sound like you have a huge issue and need help asap. A simple H20 cooling ideas would have been fine.

But to help you out, I just started a water cooling project myself that uses some the products you are referring to. I chose not to use the small switech resevoir. Just too small to really have any capacity for the system. and the rad box is only if you are going to mout the radiator/ran on the back of the case. I can't really see any other place for it.

I know I wasn't much help. I'm sure there are more people on here that will chime in.

I could say that the other 3 posts were on the spot, but that would be a waste of my typing skills.

All you want are opinions on where to place the pump and the res? Ummm, pump under the drive bays and res where you have space? It really depends on what else you have in the system. If you have a lot of other **** taking up space, then your options are limited to what you can fit where.
