Thanks for all the input, back to the drawing board I go

Darn, alright. Is there a rough estimate for the TDP that other components produce? or the amount of airflow in CFM I need to cool them?

Since LTT just posted a video onto youtube about watercooling in a 1U enclosure, I had a similar idea but not as entire desk In the design of their desk, it looks like they are getting airflow from underneath and then the airflow will go through components and then the radiators on the side. With the airflow, they can cool the VRMs, RAM, chipset and anything else that would produce a significant amount of heat. However, in a design I had, the enclosure was near air tight and the radiators for the cpu and gpu loop were outside of the enclosure. Is it possible to have a near air tight enclosure and only watercooling the cpu and gpu, or do I need airflow to cool other components? All of this so I can prevent dust and not use a dust filter.

I can't look at the drawings!!! They make me cringe. If they can make engineering drawings, that would be nice. Overall good stuff.
