Thank you both. I had looked at the XSPC site, and realized the same. =/
As for performance PC, that's where I am trying to order all my gear from, in one large purchase. I have been researching for the last 2.5 months (on all assets of my new PC build). I am trying to recreate the loop that Tom did here:
Snow Drift - Water Cooled 690 II Advanced 6970 1100T Gadget Show Live System

but with the larger RAD (and different fittings) in this video:
Coolermaster 690 II Advanced Watercooling Guide & Review B&W Black White

Here are all the water cooling items that I have looked into purchasing. Please keep note of the types of fittings and and nozzles that I have picked out. Is there anywhere I can cut corners here? This all adds up to about $510, and I haven't factored in the fan yet! Granted, the prices may drop a bit, because I am not going to water cool until I can get a GTX680 - might not be any time soon.
