Hi mate, not got a tape measure in me at the mo. but here is a pic of my 60mm, there's probs about 15mm to the top of my MBand about 30mm clearance to the bottom of the optical bay.
If you bear with me I'll get a tape measure tomorrow hopefully

Nice work!!
You will want to disconnect the motherboard power connectors though. For when you leak test the loop.

The loop doesn't leak on any of my fittings but....
My reservoir houses to d5 pumps. I have one installed and they previde 2 plastic 1/4 inch plugs for the other in/out ports for second pump. Theses both leak!! Quite dissapointed with that. Can't do anything else to it now until I get some proper plug fittings with an O ring on them. The plugs supplied are so poor. Cheap plastic. Seen some proper nickel ones for bout a £1 each with the O ring. 1 litre was no where near enough fluid aswel. I had to add some distiller water to my mayhem aurora aswell which I suspect has made the "effect" worse. Grrrrrr

Yea, only about 3months. Didn't know that when I bought it tho 
. I've just ordered some mayhems red dye of eBay and picked a bottle of de-ionised water up from asda. Need some silver coil now I think. Will order some from overclockers on Monday.
Now my loop setup is different to most I think. I have gone res, 240rad, CPU, 360 rad, gpu. Gonna see how that does me, I'm not changing it unless temps are bad. I've done it that way because I like the way the tubes are lay out.

That dvd drive is ruining it for me. Please do a drive bay mod or paint it?
The liquid looks amazing, congrats on your new build. I'm well jel.
It looks worse with the white plate on it tho to be fair

looks great, case seems abit off in white though and the white leds should be red but overall i love this, very nice.
I do have red in the top of the case, I just didn't want to much red if you know what I mean. Apparently the white LED is suppose to bring out the auroa in my fluid, can't really tell tho tbh.
And thank you

looks nice but you should have got some red fans for the rad rather than blue

Any reason why the PSU is mounted fan up?

There white LEDs, I got them to show the mayhem aurora liquid. Might change them in due course just not got the money at the mo. Getting 3 monitors in a few weeks. I have 3 red fans in the top of my case.
I like the red led on the fan!
Why thank you
Getting my 3 monitors in 10 days. Not going to bother with 3D at the moment. Looking at £200+ per monitor so not paying that.
Will post some benchmarks this week. Finished my overclocking. 4.4ghz for cpu and a modest overclock for my cards. My temps are hitting around 80 mark on prime95 for 4.4ghz so dont know if my water cooling is doing its job as i expected less but it is pretty silent so thats cool. Had 4.5ghz quite comfortobly but then i could not overclock my GPU for some reason. When i brought it down to 4.4ghz the GPU overclocked a lot more stable.
Had a lot of fun doing it. Did not have to spend anywhere near what i did but i suppose no one else is going to trust me with there money unless i can say ive done it before.
