forgot to mention if anyone is considering fitting a 360 rad into a standard 011 base and going vertical with a gpu like myn it most likley wont fit as in give you good clearence for fans when the pci cable is connected
ek's offerings only do a 28mm slim rad that didn't work in myn i had to go with a 20mm xspc rad and a modded gpu mount as mostly all gpu mounts dont utilise the very top slot and thats where i needed myn to sit
buy yeah won't have that issue in a xl

That looks amazing.

This is no criticism I'm just curious. Why didn't you use the distro plate that you can get for 011? It would probably have cost the same as all them fittings you have used around the back and made it a hell of a lot easier.

After reading the rest of the posts, you already owned the fittings.

Very nice build.
Refreshing something without a distro. ;)
I feel like they make the whole thing look better

i dont, but this is the plate it will fit in the top slot withought any mods i just had cut one of the slots as it was catching one of the dp ports as i run 3 monitors
that and two 3mm washers at the top where you screw down just so it was level with my resevoir , rest of the hardline tubing keeps it in place
