Nice one! Love that yellow.
I came *this* close to buying an Enthoo over the last few days, but decided to buy toys instead
You, Colin and Scotty do have me feeling a little jelly though

Thanks for the comments, and thanks again to Petey for the help pre build.
The side window of the Phantek's is tinted so I can barely see my work, so I've ordered a white LED. I'm also pondering about switching the fans out for some Corsair ones but I think that's a bit pointless.

Really like the yellow, my favorite colour in this type of setup.
That's too much modding for my liking, I like to keep things simple.
I'm keeping them in case I need to RMA one of the cards.

Nice build, that is a fantastic looking case too. If I ever go back to watercooling might have to consider it.
should have gone with some Akasa Vipers, no painting required

I have never used GT's so don't know what the vipers are like for comparison but would recommend them to anyone. I used them on my WC build and was very happy with them though at full pelt (1900rpm off the top of my head) they is a lot of wind noise and a little motor noise, but running 800-1000rpm they are silent.
I thought I had a couple lying around from selling my build but unfortunately the only one I can find at the moment is one I painted blue. While the blue wont go with your build I am happy to post it to you so you can compare it to the GT's.
Do they have braided cables? Don't worry about sending me anything, it'll be a long time before I actually go for some new fans. I'm thinking about getting another 290X in there which will need some work, just unsure if the two rads will be enough.

The cables are braided up to the body of the fan. No problem, offer is there if you ever want it. I would have thought you could run another gpu in the loop without issue, if you work on 120 per component you have 360 for good temps. Thought I don't know what sort of heat the 290s produce.
Looks to be the bottom GPU block. It's right where the seal is between the block and the terminal.
I don't really know what to do now, just sat here in disbelief. I'd have to strip it all down which means losing most of the water as I didn't bother putting in a drain as parts hadn't arrived. I figured I'd sort that in 6 months.

Hate to say it but probably will have to strip it out and re-install everything, sucks but if the block needs re seating or summit no other way? : (
This is one of the reasons i sold my watercooling my motherboard got rma'd and i was so ****ed off i sold it all! Also helps with servicing and changing out any components in the future.
