If you want to maintain similar temps across gpus always go with parallel.

unless.. You tune Your pumps to run maximum, then heat is moved so fast & spread so thin over entire loop that difference between GPU minimises to almost none..However it's better to run in parallel =)

so, You've choose CaseLabs route - Great choice!

the question, what type of motherboard & what GPUs You're using? =)
(why that fourth one is not connected with there rest - going for Quadro?)

i7 3930K, Rampage IV Extreme X79
Titan Black +3x gtx780 6gb (1 asus strix, 2x EVGA SC)

The strix uses EK-FC780 GTX Ti DCII and it's not compatible with any other water block for 780/titan. Moreover, it reached "End of Life" state. EK will not provide me with those. I have found it on ebay in US and in one shop in UK. But otherwise, it not there anymore. Won the auction yesterday so it will arrive before CL.

Similar case with the fans. There is not a lot of choice from the "proven" models if you want more than 5 pcs of those - not in stock anymore. So, i will go with EK-Vardar F2-120 (1450rpm). I need 21 fans in total.

Similar case if you want double D5 pump - options are more limited than they were before! Found one pcs in stock in Netherlands from bitspower, but in the end i think i will go with this configuration below, mostly for the aestetic and easy to mount (bitspower mounts and looks awkward in this CL).

What options did you order for front flex bay?

What rads did you order?

Flex-Bay Configuration: 120.3 (360) Mount with Solid Bay Covers (25.00), Included HDD Cage Type: Standard 120 x 25mm fan (MAC-101), Add a Flex-Bay HDD Cage (MAC-102)? No Thanks , Add a Standard HDD Cage (MAC-101) ? Add 1 Cage (29.00), Upgrade Reservoir Mounting Plate? (XL-ATX ONLY): Double Mount (7.00))

For rads: Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 Full Copper 480mm

The only thing i ordered so far was WB from ebay for strix. I was going to order everything weeks ago, but a lot of components are already hard to get. For example, aquaero 6 XT from aqua computer site: "Article is in production Estimated lead time 30 days". I'm asking around in shops now.

Changing topic a bit: i was looking at ways of putting more Gpus inside the case - there is so much space here and rad surface. But that's just too complicated for me to even think about, especially before i see the case. So in the end, i will probably never get to it.
On the other hand i saw the bad design of Mountain Mods and remember Sebastian's remark about building 10 gpu case. And the aluminium material that costs 100$ for my CL? Sounds about right when you swoop around.

get 6 pro - I have XT and never use the remote controll. And XT its touch screen sucks in terms of quality. I wish I got PRO.

I best perfomer and pretty cheap

NB PL2 costs 8-10 EUR nett so think about them. But vardar seems to be a great fan.

Yes - I am still designing my case for 10 GPUs and water. And it will be compact, very compact.

Thank you again.
I will go pro instead of xt.
I will look at the rad.
NB PL2 is what i wanted - can't find it locally anymore. EK F2 are 12 EUR.

From what i asked around, fabrication of small order is not a problem. Proper design and testing, is more time consuming. But i will buy your first batch
