You sure you have enough radiator power for those five blocks?

DDC has higher max. pressure so I'd get that one (multiple blocks). Well since you have the money for 8800gtx sli, I'd just go ahead, get another PA120.3, and put NB and CPU on it. Personally I'd ditch the SB but that's your choice.

There are people who own both, if I recall correctly, D5 is louder. True the DDC has a whining noise, but how much better could the D5 be???
The DDC has higher MAX HEAD PRESSURE which means its flow decreases less as restriction goes up. Restriction creates pressure drop, and the pump will generate more pressure. To generate more pressure, it loses flow. In a watercooling loop, you need max. head pressure more (because you won't ever achieve 4gpm or something with a non-insane pump).

I probably will at first. But I'm not getting 2 x 120.3's. Not for cost, but for space. I don't want to have to externally mount a radiator.
I ordered my case (SilverStone TJ07) today to see spacewise of getting the rads/pumps in the bottom. I did already order a 655 with my case as many others responded faster on hardforum.com and said the DDC was whiny.
One 120.2 should cool CPU and 1 GPU
Another 120.2 should cool 1 GPU and NB/SB.
However, if one PA120.3 can cool CPU, 2xGPU, and NB then I might do that instead, getting the EVGA SB fan cooler for it.
I think its a matter of restriction. Putting ALL that stuff in ONE loop will hurt the performance somewhat. I'd try something like a PA120.2 in the drive bays, then a PA120.3 in the bottom. PA120.2 for CPU and NB, 120.3 for GPUs. I actually don't like the idea of cooling NB a lot, I would personally go with a passive heatsink (doesn't hurt performance, silent).

Yeah, I'm sure...will probably overclock reasonably and buy a 2nd rad/pump/res in a couple of months if I can't get the perfomance I want. masaville was able to fit 2 rads in the bottom of his TJ07, but I can't do my pumps like he did.
No room in drive bays for rad -- getting the Silverstone 3.5 drive bay for 3 hard drives, and will have 2 DVD/CD drives, a sunbeam rheostat, which leaves one empty drive bay left.
Yeah, but that tower is ugly! EK has a block specifically for the EVGA NB that should be hitting the shelves really soon.
