Water Cooling the HAF X

Hi guys, I just bought the CoolerMaster HAF X and I'm hoping to do my first watercooling loop in it. I'm planning on putting a Alphacool UT45 360mm in the top, with three Scythe Gentle Typhoons running at 1,850 RPM. Then a Alphacool UT45 on the back, with the same fan. For a pump reservoir combo I'm think of using the XSPC Dual Bay Reservoir with the Alphacool VPP655. For tubing I'm going to use 1/2" ID, with 3/4" OD, and I'm going to use 1/2" compression fittings for all the connections. For waterblocks I'm going to use all Koolance blocks; the CPU-370, the Sabertooth X79 full board, and the HD7990 waterblock when it comes out. The three things I'm going to be cooling are my 3930K (overclocked to about 4.5GHz hopefully), my Sabertooth X79 motherboard, and my HD7990 (also with a fairly high overclock).

I have a few questions I'm hoping you guys can help me with though. Will there be enough clearance for both UT45's including the four Scythe Gentle Typhoons? Does anyone know of anywhere else I can easily mount a radiator in that case (without any heavy modding)? Does the set-up sound fairly good? If you have any suggestions on how to make it better please tell me.

Edit: I'm thinking about possibly putting a third radiator on the floor between the PSU and hard drives if at all possible. If not maybe mount a big radiator to the back if the front intake fan and move the hard drives up into the 5.25" bays.

Thanks in advance, Niko
