Damn that headset looks nice, count me in

Hey everybody, I'm planning to potentially watercool my new graphics card, but I'm in a relatively small case that doesn't have great watecooling support (Coolermaster K280). My question is this - is there any way to mount a pump / res combo, or just a pump in my 3.5" drive bays? I have several spare so it's a waste of space. As an alternative, how effective would a 3D-printed pump mount be, if it was screwed into a drive bay? Currently, I'm thinking of either buying the smallest pump / res combo I can find, or I'll have to find a 5.25" bay res and somehow connect it to the pump. Which of these is better? Thanks, Sam

Lets say that in my new PC, I'm using a closed-loop cooler like a H100i for the CPU and a custom loop for my GPUs. I've got a few questions about where different parts should be connected. A. If the pump on the closed loop is connected to the CPU fan header on the mobo, should the fans just be connected to something like an NZXT Grid? B. Where should the pump for the custom loop be connected, if it is only cooling the two graphics cards? C. Should the fans on the custom loop radiators also be plugged into the power supply or into a controller? D. How might you change either fan speed or pump speed to suit the temperature of the parts? Many thanks, Sam
