i have seen pics of guys putting rads in the FT02 case looks some crammped, i like room in my case so thats why im getting the phobya external rad stand.
that doesnt support the 1080 you were thinking of buying.....?

If you look closely at the image towards the bottom of the page with all the fans on the rad, u can see the in and out ports on the rad which is on top of the 1st and 3rd fan.
Many other sites that sell this stand says it works with the phobya 1080 nova rad.
if it says it does then Ill be quiet then dude! Its just where it was listed as a 360 rad stand.

What kind of layout would i have if i chose wither one of the rad configurations?
so what would be best then, the phobya 1080 nova rad or x 360 rad for cpu and 1x Phobya Xtreme QUAD 480mm Radiator for the graphics cards?

If you are having the rads external then you pretty much have to have one loop dude otherwise it will be spagetti junction and youll never be able to move the rig.

I Think i have figured it out.
This is what i came up with after an hour of drawing in paint.
Its not to scale and it won't as messy as the pic shows

I rekon with a bit of mod done to the case and taking the time to do it carefully, it can be achieved.
This is another system i seen with watercooling in the same case as me:

Thats still one loop dude. Forget the splitter you just need one tidy loop, one hose in one out.

So how how would i have the setup because i don't want hot coolant from the cpu going into the gpu espcially if im going to add a secong gtx 580 in the future
Could i add another resevoir and then connect one pump and resevoir to each rad, that way i would have to seperate loops?
Or have two pumps in a single loop, more pressure

In a closed loop order of componants matters not aslong as the cooling is ample for what is in that loop. Your rig will look like spagetti junction if you twin loop it and you would need two comepletely sperate loops.
For your case and needs a single loop will be the tidier, easier options dude.

If i do the single loop what will the temps be like with 2 x gtx 580's and a 6 core i7 in one loop?
It all hypothetical mate, with enough rads you should be fine.

if i go with the phobya 1080 nova rad then that should be enough i guess
