Need Watercooling Suggestions.

Hey guys. My buddy is looking to do watercooling on his insane rig and I told him I would help him out with finding him an ideal watercooling setup as well as install! Hopefully this isn't too much to handle hehe.
His rig specs are as follows;
Corsair 900d
Intel i7 3930K with a Corsair H100i Cooler (which he'd like to replace with an open loop setup)
Asus Rampage Extreme IV
32GB of Vengenace Ram 1866mhz
3 EVGA GTX Titan Graphics Cards.
2 SSD's.
1200w PSU

He MAINLY wants to watercool the Titans, but since he would be doing that he said he may as well do the CPU as well. He has around a 800$ budget. We live in Canada so hopefully things from ncix or newegg or memoryexpress as shipping would be less.
Let me know what ideas you guys had hehe. Something similar to the Orca build? Or something num1son's Phantom?
Thanks again guys. I appreciate all the help I can get hehe.

good for you :)
I'm not going THAT nutty when I get mine.. i'm just going for two... for now... ;)
IMO a 1200 W PS will NOT be enough for three titans. two maybe...

I do not think that is true. A titan is only slightly more power hungry than a 680 and as you can see from my sig you can run sli 680s from a 760w. So you should be able to run titan sli with an 860w and thus 1200w should be enough for triple sli titans.
 
True but Titan is heat and power based. The more room you let it stretch its legs the more it will use. On an above average water cooled rig and a good OC, I can see 1200 not being enough on the safe side. For three i would put a 1600w.
You can ALWAYS use less but you can never get more out of your PS then rated
A 1200 W will not use 1200W every second of the day. Idle you should be at 200-230w. Stalk play might be 600-700w.
You'd get even better efficient power with the new digital power supplies.
 
3x Titans? Bloody hell! I hope he has some serious resolution or monitors to power!

But yes, a 1200 watt PSU should be just fine :)
 
The OP the suggestion you ask for.. may I suggest fully sinking it in mineral oil :P.

For the 2nd suggestion, the guys here arnt from some gaming forum, nor are they from kids forum; the guys here primary know their shiat, whats new, and whats to come.
Sure, 3 Titans is a slight stretch, but claiming a 900D was the down fall... untill another month to go (April); The 900D has only been shown at CES 2013, and a press conference.(to my knowledge)
 
Sorry guys. Ive been busy with school (Midterm this week)
I made a mistake when typing it. He does NOT have a 900D. But will be purchasing one when it comes out.
Sorry again.
