It's getting real hard!

Thats a damn shame about the watercooling fittings (I think I know those fiends you speak of :( ) and the dud stick of RAM.
As for the Sabranco board there may be some deals on it in the Black Friday sales. Also the picture of the tubing looks very nice (I'm not sure if the photo is of white tubing or clear with white coolant) :)

Looking forward to the next update and I hope your fittings arrive soon :)

Yeah i've never used them before and will never use them again.

The Ram is back in now in a different slot and working so I think one of the channels is dead :(

It's clear tubing with Mayhems Ice White fluid.

Sabranco can be had for about 160 if you shop around ;)

Yeah I know but still £160!? I'd be happy to spend that or more on a newer board, Z170 or X99 but not on Z97.

Lovely colour and i been so tempted, but i wouldnt have a clue what way to do my loop.

There is a picture of it in the watercooled pc's thread.

Got to love Mayhems! :D

When I started, I didn't have a clue either, I was just winging it. Then realised I wanted a pretty simple but still something that would challenge me then went from there. Like the tube between the two rads, I was going to do a straight tube but thought i'd mix it up.
 
Still no fittings this company are so **** and not even any confirmation emails. I'm going to chase it up tomorrow I didn't have the time today.

Tempted to buy a black and white board from MM as I think it'll look a little prettier but maybe a different PSU will come first, I don't think I can wait another month to get one for Christmas.

Going to order a couple more fittings and a pass through fittings for the bottom side, if it won't clash with the PSU, then it's all about cable management and I'm done!

I do think my loop design is a bit boring though :(

Remember that the loop wont be the only section of the system that people look at and you don't want the tubing runs to be too distracting. From what you've posted though it looks fine :)

It's a shame the fittings haven't arrived, also what black and white board are you buying (MSI/ASUS etc) :D

I've got a 120mm Rad sitting here which i'm tempted to put in as the loop looks a little one sided but I think it'll just clutter it so i'll probably leave it out.

It's the MSI Krait SLI one. I'm not sure if I want it or not. It just wouldn't be so much white around the CPU area. I love this Asus board, it's been great so far.

Mayhem's Ice white is a winner, got any lighting plans? some subtle uv to make it pop even more?

Yes I do indeed.. My current lightly strips have decided to stop working when I popped them into the new case but I'm going to order more and have a nice white glow as it's really dark at the moment.

My sound card has a horrible red light which is putting a red tint on the fluid inbetween the cards so i'm going to have to modify it as you can't turn off the settings.

What do you guys think of maybe adding a little grey? Grey centre on the fans, black white and grey cables? Little things like that, just to spice it up a little.

Board change to this?

Love the Krait boards, very tempted to do the X99 one if thats the way i go...
I have so much i want to do with my pc and very little budget to do it in haha
 
I don't think that the extra radiator would look cluttered but I do like the look of the Krait motherboard. My only issue is that it's MSI and my experience with MSI hasn't been the "greatest". As for the sound card I can't wait to see what the mod is and I like the idea of a splash of grey in the system. :)

Oh really? I've only had an MSI 290x Lightning card and that was amazing!

I'm not sure what my plan is with the sound card, hopefully it's just red LED's that I can change for White ones!

+1 for krait mobo, fits perfect to colour scheme...

Will have to see how payday goes before I buy it I think, if it's still available. I really want to get my second car on the road as my little Polo is so slow I think that's going to take priority but I am selling a few bits so maybe.

I've spent so much money on my brother for Christmas which I kinda regret now as I could have spent it on myself and he would have been happy with an SSD!!

On a plus note,

I did miss a parcel today and the last thing to turn up is the fittings so one can only hope!! :D
