New to WC, about to place some orders

I finally decided to jump on the i7 920 bandwagon and have a list I'd like a second, third, etc, set of eyes to make sure I haven't yet missed anything. I already have a D5 vario, i7 920 D0, and an EVGA X58 Classified. Case will be a MM Pinnacle 24 CYO.


Res: EK-Multioption RES 250 rev.2
Pump: D5 Vario w/ EK-D5 X Top
CPU: Heatkiller 3.0 LT
SB/NB: EK-FB EVGA Classified Full Board block
RAD: Swiftech MCR320-QP
Fittings: Bitspower G1/4 Matte Black 1/2in ID barb (x8)
Tubing: PrimoFlex Pro LRT Black Tube
Coolant: Distilled H20 w/ Silver Killcoil
TIM: Indigo Extreme

I think I have enough fittings (2x for CPU, board, pump, and res) though I might have missed something. Figured I could run a fill port to the top of that res so I might need a fill port cap or something.

Going with a single loop, CPU and board only. Going to wait on cooling the GPU for now, though I might go that route in another few months after the next round of ATI and nVidia cards are released. Going fully internal, as this case is huge enough without mounting rads on the outside.

Any glaring omissions or things I might want to consider?

I like the NEW reservoir from BitsPower better than the EK...

Also, I'll be using cheap Yate Loons until the higher RPM Gentle Typhoons are once again in stock.

That a nice looking res, and is a little cheaper than the EK I was looking, so I'll probably go with that.

Quick question on the res... do I need to get caps/stoppers/plugs for the unused ports? I live hours from any place that might even consider carrying something like this, and as I'm a total n00b to WC, I'd hate to get my stuff ordered and then have to sit and wait because I missed something on the res.
