Hey guys, some great news came this week! 
Last batch of water cooling goods is making it's way to me.
Also, HWLabs finally shipped my replacement radiator, directly from the Philippines (how cool is that?) and to my surprise, it arrived today with Fedex! When I opened the box, I found out they were so nice to not only free-ship this thing, but also include TWO brand new radiators. First, a GTS360 (which I asked over the faulty 280) and a BONUS Alpha Pro 120 radiator! :applausex:
I checked the 360 for any defects and I'm glad to say they checked it before shipping and it's good-to-go! So... next thing is getting it mounted in the case.
Another small news... my Seagate is doing it's way back from RMA! :applausex:
Overall good progress, March dead line is gonna get tight though.

Absolute quality so far man, lovely work on...everything!
So, I've been searching for 12mm copper pipe and it comes out as not so-easy task. However, I found out that I can get me brass pipes for the right size and right price. Also, found out a place to get a acryilc tubing ala BP crystal links. For pretty damn cheap. 5$ per 2m piece.
Anyway, what I did today...
Shield is painted after applying three coats to it. I'm not absolutely 100% satisfied with it, but it's not super important right now.
Off-project assignment: Sleeved my Gelid fans to help it re-gain value, they're basically going on sale since I no longer require them. I ordered 3x NB eLoops.

It's coming up well!
That's it. All orders for this project are done and everything is now here.
I gotta say, these eLoop fans are the best looking fans I've ever seen. They also match the arctic-white painted pieces of the Define R4.

Niiice!
Man, I just LOVE Bitspower. The only thing I dislike, is their stock o-rings that come in an eye-sore green. 
Anyway, I did what I had to do and got a pack of black ones instead!
And finally, the pack of sleeving that eventually made it:
The white balance was totally off, I'm terribly sorry about that.

The amount of care that's gone into this thing is mental. Even down to the O-Rings on the fittings

Looks so good, the attention to detail is fantastic
