Did one a few weeks ago but some hardware has changed :)

Theme will be black and white, i'm thinking of white tubing with black compression fittings, black mobo and memory, black and white fans (i can paint these myself if a decent fan isn't available in white) and some white led's. Also white cable braiding.

My hardware is
i7 3770k
MSI Mpower Z77 1155
Titans in SLI
my case is the 750D.

this is the tube res i have in mind, unless anyone can spot a better one?

Also whats the difference between these 2 gpu blocks?

I think it's a 360 in the top and a 240 in the front and the bottom.

with those two gpu blocks, as they are facing down it doesn't matter what they look like tbh lol
 
I'm hoping to put an order in next week as I have a weekend off so it can have my full attention :)

I have 3 sp120 fans atm, but 2 are performance and 1 is quiet, so I think I'll change them all for scythe fans.

I wonder if it's cheaper to buy a black rad and paint it white, or pay the extra money for a white one?
 
This is what i have atm :)

Need to buy a CPU block and compression fittings elsewhere as ocuk are out of stock :(

Am i missing anything else?

Ohh fans too!

Oh. Yeah they will, all modern blocks use the same g 1/4 threads. These are essentially fittings and acrylic cut to a two slot spacing for you.

Could i get away with 2 compression fittings? As i don't fancy having nickel fittings, i would prefer all black :)

Thanks, having a look at them, i still prefer the XSPC for the minimal design :)

Got a few questions before i go ahead with the build today, is 1L enough for a loop? Im going to use the shortest method possible with tubing, and only have a small res.

Thanks
