Can't wait to get it in the case and see what the temps are like. Will update with the finished pics next weekend.

Thinking about spraying the black parts of the case white and also the fins on the fans but it sounds like a lot of hassle and i'm not sure how good it will look.

Old Perspex window.

I'm very pleased with how its turned out, considering its my first water cooling attempt. Looking forward to doing a bit more to the fans and cables, if I'm brave. Still got a long way to go to match some of the guys on here but we've all got to start somewhere!

I would have had that in a tub, or bathtub just incase ;-) (Speaking from leakage experience)

Love the mayhems pastel blue, i used the blueberry purple in mine and dyed it to a blue. fantastic stuff!

I like the idea of the white parts of the case if its done right, but I've seen a white plasticote sprayed interior case and it goes well with the black, don't know how resistant to scratches it is etc though.
 
I had it over a tub for the first 12 hours and then moved it because it was in the way. Mainly just running to make sure the bubbles disperse.

I'll probably make it a summer project.
 
Update:

Turns out the kit doesn't supply a back plate as it uses the standard AMD plate. That would have been nice to know! Ordered one off fleabay along with a ball valve to add a drainage line. So should have it all fitted at the weekend!
