I was actually doing a little work now that my PC is back up. I am going to use a regulator that is crap for my split res. I will separate the halves with a plug. I will use the inlets for just that and the outlet to the pump will come from the bottom of the separator chambers. Here are some pics and a little modding I needed to do for flow. I will install a plug and fittings this week. I have to dig them up. I have finally decided on how to skin this case. I am using MDF all around. The will give me a lot of freedom for the things I want to do externally on the case. and it will help dampen vibrations.

Awesome Work Sam! I'm looking forward to more pictures.
Two cases allows so many configurations for hardware & fans. It also gives me a few ideas for a mod too.

I have some updates i need to post. i will be spending my little precious free time on it this weekend. I am still deciding on which half to install the drives into. my plan is to install all of my water cooling in the right. Both rads and both pumps and the res. I will have to make a decision soon.

The front will have to have a custom panel.
A plexi (or acrylic) outer shell would look insane.

Paint the cage inside with some UV paint, and make it glow!

I am actually going for a very industrial look. The pumps will be weathered dry brushed along with the interior. I will be using wire mesh and some very directional lighting.

Got a little done this weekend. Not as much as I had hoped. I will get some pics up. Maybe a little more this week.
