So got a large part of the re-tubing done today.
First, new drain for the CPU loop. Much tidier and secure that the previous version:
Tubed up down to the drain port
The pipes running from the graphics cards had problems due to the length of the run and the relatively insecure fittings the other side of the case. So to fix this I rang up my main man Power again who fabricated me a plate which will replace the bottom fan hole slot, but then extends further along so I could place these bulkheads in to give the graphics card tubing a solid secure base to hold up against.
In place with the 2 compression fittings attached:
From the other side:
Flexi hose in place. Again, the reason for this is to make removal of the front radiator *considerably* easier, so if I need access to the back radiator, any of the fans or control boards I am able to whip it out quickly and easily without having to spend hours removing acrylic fittings and tube
First graphics card reconnected to the new secure fittings
Today I also had a special delivery from Mick at Mayhems with the long awaited Aurora 2 coolant. Thanks Mick! Picture of this to come soon.
Now im happy with the new pipework layout down below, I hope to finish that up tomorrow, apply a fix to the top pipework (similar thing, use bulkhead fittings to secure them) and all going well, have this rig up and running next week!
About time too

Yay so we're almost there... again.
In recent photos you may have noticed the dust buildup. Unfortunately where I live is near a main bypass road and a lot of dust gets kicked up. So, to keep cleaning the inside of this case to a minimum when up and running, purchased some Demiflex Filters.
Magnetic section applied to the inlets:
And the removable filter attached:
Re worked the top to be cleaner and more secure with bulkhead fittings. Much better I think you'll agree:
Before:
After:
Shots from the underside:
Graphics loop back and assembled, more secure, tidier.
And a final shot of how things look at the moment:
Right now I have both loops filled with plain water running at full whack for 24 hours to test for leaks and clean everything out. Once done I can drain them down, and refill with the shiny aurora 2 coolant.
Not much left to go now!

If he's going to heavily customize it to his liking, then of course it's going to take a long time. In addition, he's had to wait for parts to arrive and has had some small delays due to technical issues or other complications.
Cut him some slack.
Then your clearly havent been keeping pace, it was already finished once before
so gtx 800 series probably out in a month
Indeed, fortunately my Titans are still within EVGA's step up time limits for another 45 days or so.... so if the performance gain is worth it ill swap em out

I've heard people use distilled water for this. Maybe your use of plain water doesn't matter because it'll be running only a very short time?
Looks very clean and organized indeed!Mini update before the final push this week.
Wasn't happy with the cables on display. So decided to do some cable sewing. Used black fishing line oppsed to threads or laces.
Nicely done and thanks again for sharing.
Yes it was distilled water, but I meant plain as in no addatives etc
Will this be ready before the launch of Windows 10?
Ive been using it for about a month now
Completed photos to come soon Tm
