In any case it seems you have enough time before you set up since you have to flush your radiator and have other things coming. Just contact them and see if they can help you. No need to stop going to them over this unless it absolutely holds you up.

You won't be using the top fan(230mm) when you install your radiator. When I installed my loop I removed all but the front 230 fan. But since you won't have a mainboard block your nb still needs to be cooled. So the 140 and the 230 on the door probably need to be retained.
The 140 I think is a mid level CFM fan. Probably comes in round 1500rpm or so if I remember correctly. Replaced mine with a Yate Loon D14SH-14 High Speed Silent. The 230s' are 110(+/-10%)cfm.
It won't hurt to get another case. But if you're going to cut you don't need one(unless you really want one) You can mock it up in Google Paint first and if you need something tactile to touch you can mock the doors up with cardboard or construction paper and use some masking to secure it to get the look you're going for right. Then use some contact paper on both sides of the door to keep the Powder Coat clean and use a stencil to trace your pattern on it prior to cutting. Once it looks good to you you can start your cutting. But don't be in a hurry. Rushing things inevitably leads to mistakes. 99.9999999% of all modding gaffs are due to rushing through the process.
Don't need a bench for leak testing. You can get one if you wish but I used full length tubing for leak testing and did the cutting only when the board and everything was mounted in my 932. Only had 8 feet of tubing so I had to make sure I got it on the first try. Only had to redo one piece and that was the fillport tube because it was too short.

No I got the LTX like you suggested. They only sent me the AMD block though. If they sent me the wrong block I'll defintely be contacting them. I'll post a picture when I get home to have you guys tell me if they screwed me. I will be contacting them to get my Intel block though, as that's what the kit is supposed to have and I may switch to Intel at some point.
I do need to read up on what to do to get it ready, as it has been a while since I read about WCing. Figure I might as well prep while I wait for my silver bullet, green tubing and new HAF 932 case

I will have to pick up some contact paper though and figure out how to use it, haven't done this stuff since high school metal class about 11 years ago.. ha. I mainly wanted the bench to have my comp setup while I do the mod so figured I'd just buy a new case to mod so I can take my time on it. I'm ok with spending money so I can take my time and do it right.
Going with a blue and green theme; not sure how good it'll look, but we'll find out. Green tubing and blue LEDs. Want to get some UV lights to put in along the top; where would I find some that resemble the LED lights in Ceadder's rig? Can't remember who else has those tubes of LED lights, so sorry if I offended by only mentioning Ceadder.
