Love when you beg for forgiveness from the photo nerd. Auto HDR works great for me, so I'm with you Linus. Can't wait to get the G3 on rogers!

I have 9 fans right now on mine (across the 4 connectors)

Not too sure. There are so many holes in the back that there is more then enough space for the air to get out of with good positive pressure. The idea of the top exhausting is because heat rises and its an easy way to get it out of the case effectively. If you go the way I recommened there should be enough air in to force it all out the back though. Worse come to worse you try both since its pretty easy to swap fan directions.

I would have both rads ingest air and exhaust through that one back fan. You would get positive pressure and both rads would get the best air temps.

I just got rid of my FT02 because of the same reason. No room for cooling

I would get that swiftech h220 and add a bigger rad if you needed more cooling (you shouldn't for just a cpu). $200 is pretty low for a custom loop. What did you other guys think?

Keep in mind there are quite a few out there that people have problems bleeding out the air from. It's possible to do, but just difficult.

Just pipe the loop up with the shortest runs possible - the order doesn't matter at all

Running dual reservoirs in a 900D to increase the total amount of water in the system isn't crazy, is it? It should give you more liquid, and in turn take longer to reach peak temperatures?

4-5 months out? Camp both of their facebook pages and watch for big discount times. I got my 17.5% off on st. patricks days of all the days. I would also just buy whatever you can get during that time that is on sale. I have been collecting parts for the past 6 months while waiting for my 900D to show up. Now I'm finally in the home stretch, so I know what its like to be planning that far ahead.

PPC has been great for me too. Really fast shipping, their sales department will work with the vendors to bring in product (They worked with alphacool and bitspower to get products for me). FCPU always seems to be super slow and mega $$ for shipping. Also, watch out on PPC's facebook page, as they had a 17.5% off coupon a while ago that I got to use. Saved me a ton of money.

PPC has a coupon going on right now "Use Code OCN55 to save 5% at checkout" Aquaero is a great fan controller if you find that PWN control isn't enough on your mobo, I love mine. Fully independent and you can set control curves, etc.

Also, what are you going to be using to control the fan speeds? Or are you going to be running them at a constant speed?

That's fair enough if you are already reaching the limit. Have you checked to see what the pricing of the parts are at performance-pc.com? I switch back and forth between the two companies, but I've found PPC to be generally cheaper on most items.

A lot of that isn't necessary, but if you are swinging for the fences with your equipment, what is an extra 5% in cost?
