Hi

I have been reading a lot about custom waterloops over the past couple of years, and finally decided (and gathered the money) to do one myself. The case I've decided to use is the Silverstone FT05 (full loop, CPU + GPU, maybe more in the future):

http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=522

and I will be using a dual 180mm rad from EK (35mm thickness) to dissipate all the heat. However, because of how compact the case is, I am at a bit of a loss as to where to put my reservoir / pump. So far I am thinking of either getting a CPU block + pump hybrid (Swiftech APOGEE DRIVE II), and maybe hanging my res on the 120mm exhaust grill up at the top, or getting a res / pump combo and just have it sit somewhere on the rad at the bottom?

Anyway, I'm looking for more ideas and input. Thanks!

Thanks, but this case does not have ANY 5.25 bays, which is why I am having a little trouble figuring this out

That would be an interesting package deal: pump/top combo for you, lacy top for her.
