Very nice.

How easy did you find using those fittings?

Post some more pics once the copper has oxidised a bit.

It may be worth cleaning the copper to remove any finger prints as they might be more visible later.

OK cool yeah once I've done the sleeving I'll have a clean of the pipes and post some pictures. I actually think the dark copper colour goes well with the noctua fans.
And the fittings were ok I guess. A little awkward to get the pipe in because it has to go in quite far. Another thing is there is a bit of movement while the pipe is in the fitting.

Make sure you have a couple of practice runs with that crimper. I've got one I was using for 2.54mm pins and it's awkward to get the pin in the right place and very easy to totally squash the insulation. No problem on a test piece but could cause swearing if it's a carefully measured and sleeved wire wrecked.

Thanks. I have over ordered on the pins and cable so will definitely be having some practice runs. Fingers crossed I'll get it done and it will look great
