That is a decent block, although I don't like the 3 hose design as it makes you run a Y fitting to loop the 2 outflow hoses together. A 2 hose design is just as efficient and gets the same results. I use a DangerDen TDX block and highly recommend it. Make sure you have a good pump with good flowrate. The higher the head that the pump can push is more important than the pressure. Reservoirs are quickly being replaced with T-lines because a T-line is easier to set up and less prone to leak, but I still prefer to run a reservoir.

I know what u mean by the third but i was thinking about closing it. Also the fact that it is much cheaper than the other one's, I might get the Swiftech Apogee since it comes with a whole bunch of exrta parts. I might use the third one on the polarflo for pumping water into it and having one that lets out water.
Also can you suggest a pump and give me a link thanks alot casecutter!!!!

You have to pump water into the center hole and the 2 outside holes are to let water flow out. You cannot block them off. The Swiftech Apogee is an excellent block and the simpler installation is in your best interest for your first water loop.
As for a pump, I would suggest these: My #1 choice and really the best choice: Swiftech MCW655 http://www.frozencpu.com/ex-pmp-27.html My #2 choice, and it is the pump I run, the Eheim 1250 which you can buy at any pet store/garden center. It is a 110V A/C pump so you either need a relay kit or you must remember to plug it in before starting your PC, but they are pretty much THE most reliable pump made. The Swiftech pump is 12V and can be plugged into your power supply so that makes it much easier to use, and it is still an excellent pump.

No problem! I have a relay that turns my 110V A/C pump on when I turn my PC on and it does not draw any power from the PSU too. The Eheim pumps are alittle bigger, but they are extremely reliable.

I have got every thing setup and now I need to know the mix for the water cooling. One site said 85% distilled and 15% antifreeze

I'd put at the most 10% antifreeze and truthfully, 5% is plenty. All it is doing is acting as an anti-fungal agent so you don't need much at all.
