Maybe did just have it flipped, I didn't have his instructions in front of me when I was messing with it but I swear I tried it in both directions. I'll play around with it more when I get home from work tonight.
 
Totally had the header in backwards and when I tried reversing it before it was giving the issue where it wouldn't boot right after it being in wrong and must not have tried it correctly after a successful power up until now. I have my front 180mm fans at about 1/4 the way up on the speed controllers and the rear 80mm fans turned all the way down which is pretty quiet. The power wire management in the case turned out very well and all I really need to do is get some new SATA cables and I'll be good to go.
 
I did some messing around with CPU temp monitoring today by maxing out all 4 cores of my CPU using terminal commands. After 20 minutes of all 4 cores maxed and all of my system fans tuned down all the way with my fan controller, the highest I could get was 64° C on the hottest core; turning the fans to max only brought temps down about 2°. The system idles around 30° on the coolest core and 37° on the hottest. I'm running at stock speeds with my 2550K with the H60 pump attached to a header on the motherboard running at full speed all the time and the H60's fan controlled by the motherboard.

Edit: I should also add that the room temperature is around 26° C, which what HW monitor registers at idle.
