Stunning.. What clip is that attaching the pump/res to the rad?

thanks, its an Alphacool res clip, fits perfectly on the d5 body.

Thanks a lot buddy. Love that idea and would do it on my case an all

I am probably going to borrow your ideas concerning pump/res mounting and removing the HDD tray thingy to allow more space for a large rad. Currently using a 30mm thick alphacool unit in pull and would love something larger to allow for quieter operation.

How are you LEDs powered? I have a couple of cold cathodes wired up to use the switch at the back (whilst remaining isolated from the other LEDs) and find it super handy to be able to turn all the lights off with a single switch.

Think it is definitely the way to go. Looks great really good.

LED's are powered via 12v molex through a Remote dimmer, see the picture of my side panel. I am too lazy for a switch, remote is easier!
Can control brightness, pulsing, flashing effects etc. I tend to just leave it on low as it can be a little bright on full.

I successfully borrowed you ideas yesterday and installed an RX360 in push pull at the front and mounted my pump on said rad. Worked really well and has opened up loads of space at the bottom of my case for cables and my HDD.

Probably gonna use yellow fluid next time too!

Thanks for the ideas!

Very nice build! I also have the same case, and was wondering if you can advise what it is you have put on top of the SSDs to give them the white appearance, as in this photo?
