i'm running my 2 gtx280's on a single loop with a dual radiator which is a swiftech kit, and the temps on them never go above 60c then i also run a xspc kit for my q9450 @3.6hz and, the chipset and those temps are fine cpu never above 40c and chipset never above 60c just thinking it might be cheaper for you unless you already have the kit just to use the 1 loop for gpu's and 1 for cpu and chipset.

the idea , of 1 loop per gfx card is knowing how hot the 4870 runs, then i would assume, with the 4890 out ( my next goodie to buy ) & with the higher clocks and voltage increase the temps will sore even higher even more so with higher custom clocks. Hecne why 1 loop per card.
cpu wise n chipset, cpu speed im on 4ghz atm, at approx 43c idle, never seen how hot it gets with testing / gaming. chipset, well why not lol, But may consider keeping them on same loop if they dont get to hot. Ill have to do some research on temps for the dfi board.

My antec 900 sites under the desk, gathering dust, where no one can see it

If that were the case i wud assume people wouldnt make thier cases out of wood / mdf.
seeing as more and more people are doing it nowadays I would assume it safe..
I hope
only one way to find out lol.
