ohh my god i am in a daze.
*Bowing down at your feet in amazement*!!!!!
You are doing an amazing job!
I lust after your case...(don't tell my wife!)
In my opinion (I spent 6 years in the Navy as a Machinist Mate) The res should always feed the pump and the res should never be lower than the pump. The res has 2 jobs. First it acts as a makeup tank for any leakage, evaporation...ect. Second the res provides NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) to the pump. (It makes sure that the pump is not starved for water.) The location of the rads is less important and I do not believe having the rads above your pumps will result in any negative concequenses.
Hope that helped!
Having the pump under the res also allows for some from of gravity feed.
Forgot to add this to my last post but your craftsman ship is incredible. This is really coming together and for the detail you really do deserve +rep.
EDIT: About your design I know of something that may give you a few more ideas. The "face bursting out of metal" effect that you have going I have seen a lot on Warhammer miniatures, mostly on the Chaos Tzeentch cult models, I think they call them "tortured faces", if this is where you got your inspiration from I'm sorry to bring it up but I thought it may help.
Here is a link to a guide:

I'm sorry I couldn't find a better link, I was trying to find one already painted for you so you could have a better idea of what I mean.
Yeah its one of those "Wow, I can't believe I missed this mod!"
This is truly amazing. To help with any further sculptures someone around here did a tutorial on vacuum forming. It looks a lot like what you are doing. It might help for the future.

Great work man. +Definate rep
Wow, great stuff! +Rep
My 2 cents at watercooling: I agree that the res should be higher than the pump. And I add: The res should be the highest point in your loop, as all the air in the loop gatheres there. If your rad is the highest point, you will hear gurgling noises, because the air stays there...
i really want that type of case but they cost $$$$!
Great progress, keep it up.
Those fan guards are very cool.
