bluedevil: I knew it'd be quieter but won't water help with overclocking the GPU?
tK FuRY: I haven't purchased anything for the loop yet, but I will make sure there's enough res/rad capacity to keep the i7 cool with lots of overhead to spare. I'm paranoid that way.
nckid4u: No volt mods for me! First time modder/overclocker for...well, anything, and volt mods are a liiiittle out of my comfort zone.
carrion: I'm still not set on the tower. I want to be able to laser cut the side panel and, being the paranoid sort, order spare side panels. Not all towers have spares available. Initially looking at the PC-X2000 'cause I like the look of it, but it's a bit pricey and I don't know if I can get the Lian Li version here in the states. I don't like the ABS logo on the Canyon 695. Still open to other designs, but some of the mods I'm doing to the side panel will determine what I get.
