Eska, how much benefit would putting a single between 2 components? ie res > pump > 120.3 > cpu > 120.1 > gpu > res. Would it be the same to just put the two rads in series? I'm guessing the heat dissipation of the rads is the same so no real difference...

the switch is a great case to learn in as its easy to work with and has quite a bit of room... as for the extra radiator between the CPU and the GPU(s), it all dependes... if you go with an IB processor or such, i would say the extra money isnt justified at all... if you decide to go with either the 3930k or the 3960x (absolutely no point to the later of these unless you will be doing major rendering btw) then i would say it would be worth a try (but only after you have tried without and decided you are not happy with your temps)... also, i would not say it will make much of a difference at all unless you decide to go with multiple GPUs (another prity complicated topic on its own)... all in all, i would say to just use a single 120.3 rad for now, and add another later if you are not satisfied with the current results (also, if you are gunna add another rad into teh switch, just make it a 120.2 as to not waste space (and they only tend to be around $20 more then the 120.1 rads of the same version)... hope this helped
PS. any questions are welcome and im sure we will all answer to the best of our knowledge... i just didnt feel like typing out all the stuff about having multiple GPUs in a loop unless you asked for it specificaly because i have been lazy the past few days
