Re-routed all cables.
Spiral wrapped/ sleeved cables where applicable.

Loving it! Looks quality. That's the thing about watercooling, it just looks 10x better. I'm going to be spending a fortune on my WC and I can't wait.

Alright Andy?

Something like this but to be fair it keeps changing all the time. I like white tubing now also. I put down wrong amount of barbs though. Infact not sure why i put two fan controllers in also

Building my machine late feb, cant wait.

Might have to fit one of those drain taps

Andy,

Can you explain what this part does and why you needed to use it ?
