Dont do that! There is absolutely no reason for "creating" 2 Systems. HDDs are producing heat at around 5-10W. This is nothing. Just make one system an save some money at this part
The Evo240 will be enough and it will give you good (and quiet) temps, thats for sure!

Especially regarding the low thermal-power output of the harddisks it would be appropriate to give them their own system. They then can be kept cool (~30°) with a very slow and quiet fan. The GPU,NB and CPU can handle much bigger temperatures (~60°) without any problems. If you use a EVO 360 withOUT fans to cool them it would be enough (and really noiseless).

If you use only ONE system, you have to cool your GPU,NB and CPU down to the temperatures the HDDs need - and therefore would have to use more/faster/noisy fans!

A 360 passive for the chips and a 120 with a slow fan for the hdds (and the watercooled PSU) can do the job noiseless. I have a 240 with 2 fans in my case (for CPU,NB,GPU,HD,PSU) and i can actually HEAR them! (Not the fans themselve but the AIR comming out of the case...)

I (in some distant future) will reconfigure my system to fit my above advices. I would recommend you don't make the same design-flaw i did.

If you drop the 12V-Eheim pump from your budget and replace it with 2 1046 you could realise this system without exceeding your financial limits to much.

Edit:
If you use valves you don't need two Aquatubes for two systems - another way to save money. (To fill your system up you just use two valves to connect your two systems. When they are filled and you want to use your PC you close the valves (and thereby disconnect them) and the two systems can work independently with different temperatures...)

speaking of noise: your PSU is probably another source! you should think about modding it with one large 120mm-fan at 7 or 5 volt or (since you appear to be quite wealthy... 5 aquadrives... pfuuh ) buy a watercooled PSU like the aquapower (which has a 230V-plug included) or the coolcurrent. both can be found in ACs shop

Currently I have an Antec TrueBlue 480Watt PSU installed, which has a very acceptable noise level, as in my current system the harddrives are the noise-sinners.
In a fanatic system modding the PSU would ofcouse be apporiate.

The AquaDrives are actually more for the noise than the cooling. But when warping up your harddrives heat is always an isue.

How's the pump's noise level? Are they virtually silent, as 2 would increase the total dB level.

BTW, 2 AquaTubes is a must, as the PC70 case is practically built for it

Aquadrives are not very good in lowering the noise. Several people claimed about that.

The normal 230V Eheim 1046 is 99% noiseless as long as no air is in the pump. You should care about the vibration of the pump; if the pump is attached to the case to strong the case could make vibration noise.

Cool... a few rubber-thingies should do the trick...

erm...
actually the aquadrives do quite a good job calming your hdds down

what they NOT do is making them noiseless, but i doubt they would be much louder than the fans on the radiator (even if you use the silent papst fans

)

btw:
i bet you won't describe the noise level of your psu as 'acceptable' when you find it being the by far loudest piece of hardware in your pc...
trust me, i know what i'm talking about :

Nice to hear, but are they worth the money?

Hmm, well.... the TrueBlue and other Antecs are known to be very quiet, but you are probably right anyway

But now I don't know wether or not to buy the AquaDrives :/

You can put your hdd's in aquadrives and then seal them in a sound-surpressing box stuffed with 'Schaumstoff' (?) That should take care of heat AND sound

I'm sorry to say that I'm not very impressed by the performance of my own aquadrive... You can still hear the disk...

Its not THAT supreme... but still quiete nice

You dont get a REALLY noisey HDD quietly, but a pretty silence one will be unhearable afterwards

Argh, you guys have to give me a break! How am I ever going to make up my mind?

Well, thx for all your thoughts!
