    This is my third rebuild of my S8 .

    I added a caselabs pedestal and heavily modded the case to accept 2 360 radiators up front, JIM AT Clockwerks worked with me on creating the water plate and top custom dual loop reservoir that supply's the two ek d5 pumps below. I went with all 304 medical grade 12mm stainless steel tubing runs. The loop is devided into a gpu loop that is cooled by the 2 360 front rads (overkill) and the other loop consists of the CPU/RAM/ and mosfet. This loop is cooled by 2 360x60mm rads in the pedestal.

    I had to trim most of the mid chasi motherboard support to mount mid plate and 360 rad up front on the left side.

    Build is mostly transferred but the components list is as follows

    Cpu - Intel i7 4790k
    mobo - asus formula Vll custom painted black
    Gpu - Dual evga 980tis
    Psu- evga supernova g2 1000w
    Ram- 16gb gskillz ddr3
    Ssd - Samsung 120gb/240gb/500gb evo
    Hdd- 1tb western dig black 2tb western dig green
    Aquacomputer aquaero 6 xt fan control

    Cooling

    CPU - EKWB full nickel block
    Gpu- EKWB full nickel blocks + backplate
    Ram- EKWB nickel monarch
    Pumps- EKWB d5 xtops x2 custom sleeves
    Radiators- 2 EKWB PE 360s 2 OcCool 360 monstas
    Reservoir- custom one off by clockwerks
    Fittings- Bitspower black 12mm

    Misc- ensourced full sleeved cables, custom acrylic psu and A6 cover by a friend, custom water plate by jim at clockwerks.


    Here is my progress to this point still have a lot to do.

    Few more Got my pedestal all plumbed as well as wired for quick removal. Cut out for a grommet in the 140fan plate on psu side .used soft ek tubing with alphacool quick disconnects that connect the pedestal dual 360 rads to the CPU loop. Also my aquaero 6 is fully wired with the fan extensions USB and molex wired up to the other side thru a grommet so I can completly disconnect the ped and not have to drain

    Lil leak test on the CPU loop. Just about ready to button this thing up.
