Thermaltake tai chi water cooled case modifications

There is a recently added short thread on BigBruin.com Content concerning the ThermalTake Tai Chi water cooled case.

I would like to get some advice from those of you who know the watercooling solutions that Thermaltake uses which I understand to be narrow pipes and low flow.
So my question is given that, what would be the practical problems of extending the cooling in the Tai Chi to include the Graphics card, (7800 GTX)?

I'm not really into water cooling, so can't help you much.

I'd be concerend about the special unit Thermaltake has that fits the door of the TaiChi. Perhaps one of the larger units would be better suited.

But then knowing Thermaltake the door unit would probably suffice for some users, but probably not for the hardcore.

Tt does sell the VGA add ons, and I think it should be OK.

I have other water cooling kits, some with massive tubes, and others with quite narrow tubes (like the Innovatek XXS kit). Although the Innovatek was originally just for a CPU and VGA, I asked to representative about adding other things, and they assured me that tubing could handle much more load... (another VGA, northbridge, hard drive(s)) and all I wanted was to add the northbridge.

So, with the skinny tubing a lower flowing pump, it still kept the the CPU, GPU, and chipset well below air cooling.

For direct Tt experience, maybe dadx2mj can chime in, since has one of their kits!
