Slowly getting the parts. EK Velocity CPU block, front D5 distro plate and 60MM XE arrived today.
The only issue I can see is I'm going to go for the Black Ice radiator for the floor but will have to dremel the last PCI slot out. As in a tiny little lip with the screw area that's maybe 1.3mm jotting out. The radiator is 2.9mm thick. The distro plate is 2.8mm thick. With the Black Ice radiator it would leave 0.5mm below the pump.
This would be the reason this fella went with a 240mm radiator. As that massive gap would drive my OCD insane.

Originally, I ordered the EKWB 360 mm PE rad, but sadly it didn't fit in the O11D case with this front distroplate (quantum reflection pc-o11d). In other words you can only fit a 240mm radiator in the bottom of the std. size case else you will need to buy the LIAN LI O11D XL.
Also found a much better more adjustable GPU riser kit.
[Edit] Yep, this is a dead PCI slot on the case. I'll dremel it out as it doesn't line up with the last PCI-E slot. Which will allow the 360mm radiator to sit in flush.
bykski make one, available from China
While old post, the plate arrived today. Lovely looking piece. It came with thermal pads and paste.
