    Got the backboard sitting nice with the mobo tray now, just need to re-drill the holes for the 24pin ATX cable.

    Very tempted to get all my blocks Nickel coated, maybe just the GPU as i don't think you will notice the others as they will have coloured fluid!

    Im in love with how clean it looks! Kinda wish i put the flooring in so it was all light up! never mind :(

    Working area!!

    If all goes well, it will be stripped back down again, front and top flushed off and painted/powderd!!! Cant wait!!

    Just finished a 7hour stint!

    Busy day today, I bolted down the back plate and got all the tubing done with only come gluing required before I can fill her up and leak test her.

    I filled up the sink and air tested most the fitting combinations so I hope it will be a dry experience.

    I will make the rad stand once it all leak tested and stripped back down again.

    Here are the pics, I love my new camera :D

    My brothers dog popped in to give me a hand.

    Not had much time at the mo to work on it but hopefully can find some time soon.

    if i had to change one thing, it would be the hosing inlet to pump 3. should be shorter:D

    btw, magnet test the plugs/blanking screws! if they are magnetic, change them, since they are steel then:)

    I think DI is De-Ionized. I don't where, but I did read somewhere that it's bad for loops.

    Or maybe that person/site was talking out of their ass(es).
