Very nice clean job on this build. It amazes me to watch people do such amazing looking mods. What kind of pipe is that that your coolent runs through? Also when using pipe instead of tubing, do you just use compression fittings, or do you have to have a special fitting on the blocks and rads? Again great job, I would like to see some benchmarks on this machine after your oc is complete.

Its chrome plated copper tube with push fit fittings from specialtech.

I have a pipebending 101 on OCN if you want to try it yourself?

Love the case - and want one!

That's some pretty damn impressive building skills, mate. From the fan detailing, to the watercooling plumbing, to the front panel setup and detailing.

Wicked, wicked, wicked. You Rock!

LOL! For some reason, this reminded me of the description of the weapon used in Da Yooper's song "Turdy-point Buck":

"Ya, my only hope was Betty Lou,
she was the one,
a combination AK 57 oozie radar laser triple-barrel double-scoped heat-seekin shotgun." 😄

& B Negative, I looked longingly at the pic you posted before I read your text--which my mind initially translated to "You should see my R2-D2...." Looking back on it, I still think it makes sense!
