    Special mention and thanks to Coolmiester at XSPC for 1 of the 480 rads and to Steve at Specialtech for getting in AMS rads in especially for me that i cant use...i know he spent a good few hours trying to source these for me.

    Still waiting for one more 480 rad and 2 Koolance D5 tops then i can get going on the loop.
    Ordered more 10mm Copper pipe today so i can get on with the pipework.

    I have 180 bends on the loop which counts out using the double o-ring fitting (phobya/BP sli fitting),these are push fit with a lock ring,much more secure and reliable. Looks,in this instance,are secondary to performance.

    I don' think they're ugly. They're.... classic.

    Also, it's slightly refreshing to see somebody NOT using Bitspower, EK or Feser fittings.

    Nice start man! I really like that you will use metal pipes that will make it a very unique thing!
    I prefer the 90° bends over the 45° bends btw, 90° just looks better :)

    Question: What are the compression rings on those fittings made of? -HDPE or brass?
