Hardware:

- 4770k
- MSI Z87 MPower Max
- 970 G1 Gaming (SLI soon)
- Corsair Dominator 2800
- Corsair AX860i
- Creative ZXR
- Samsung 830 Crucial M4 SSD

- XSPC EX240
- Scythe Gentle Typhoon Fans
- EK D5 X-Res
- Acrylic Tubing
- EK-GPU Waterblock Nickel Plexi
- EK-Supremacy-EVO

Update 1:

- Completed braiding the cable (PITA). Teleios Premium grade sleeving.
- Striped the case ready for radiator, NZXT logo now yellow!
- LED Lighting completed on the side panel. You may notice a small strip of vinyl along the edge of the window where the light is. This stops horrible reflections onto the window.

Nice looking build but you've not really told us what you're doing and why. I would add this as the mods may see this as not conforming to the rules.

If its a simple build log, it would be better suited here.

Thanks, I will update the main post soon with more info.

Small update, Sleeved D5 Pump and wrapped in 3M White Vinyl. Gentle Typhoon AP14's sleeved and black connectors replaced the ugly white ones. More soon...

Rads painted, I will post more pics later once the paint is dry.

Update 2:

- Finished painting the rads white, fans fitted and mounted to the case.
- Started cable management round the back, most will be done once I have the power cable in place.
- Mounted Res/Pump to the rad with a little bracket I made. I had to add a small support to stop any movement, I may change this, any ideas what else I could use?.
- Need to order some acrylic tubing, what do you guys recommend size/brand?

Never been much of a fan of the white set ups, but yours is coming along nicely.

Thanks, just ordered all my fittings/acrylic tubing should arrive later this week hopefully!

Update 3:

- Finished braiding all the cables, really is a time consuming job but it was fun!
- Block ready to go, used a little plastic polish on the acrylic top.

Loving the cables, and my favourite CPU block

Thanks, yep the block is pretty awesome!

What did you use to mount the pump/res to the rad?

Used the EK-Uni Holder D5 (http://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-uni-holder-d5-v2.html)
Then made a small bracket that screws onto the EK bracket then to the rad.
Added a small support to stop the bracket bending, as its made from plastic.
I have ordered some 60mm res clips and bitpower rad bracket that I may use instead, still undecided...

where would you put the Velociraptor HDD? I want to do this but I cant imagine where i'd put the Blu-Ray drive and HDD lol

Planning to mount the HDD under the psu cover, there is plenty of room, I will use one of the HDD trays that came with the case to mount somewhere down there. I don't need a blu-ray drive, but if you do your out of luck, no bays in the case. You could always use external?

yeah I think external would look cool too lol minimal distractions in the case. Thanks for the idea

Update 4:

Now that Christmas is out of way I've made some progress at last! Updates should be more regular as I have some much needed time off work in the new year.

- Started Cable management and added NZXT grid fan controller. I had to remove it from its casing due to being close fit on the back panel.
- New Res mount, more secure than before.
- Acrylic piping started, takes a while but I am loving the look compared to regular tubing. Drain valve added.
- HDD Mount behind the Rad.

Looks unbelievably clean .... I do like them cases

Was it difficult to remove the HDD panel? Any force to remove it after the rivets were drilled out?

Very easy, after the rivets are removed everything falls out! no force needed.
