That's correct - import tax of 100 too. I think Schizo got a few more extras with his too. He's looking to sell if you are interested
I know he does and I'm very interested, but not so keen on the white bits. Seeing yours in all black means I'd have to order a bunch of new bits in black. So I'm wondering if it'd be just as ell for me to buy new.
Plenty of room there. You should get some shrouds on those rads.
That case is a beauty. Am loving build.
Many thanks. Am murdering the braiding at moment - total noob at it and have already knackered a fan (pulled off the live wire trying to squeeze three wires through 3 mm braid - need to solder!). Will do same tomorrow and then post some pics of the hardware. GPU water blocks came today though.
Does anyone have the same problem as me, in thatr the braid keeps unravelling as you push the wire through? I've ended up having to put a fair bit of heat shrink on just to cover the unravelling braid!
At some point, if someone here could help me with quick disconnects, coz I haven't the foggiest. Still a long way off that, but thought I'd ask.
Many thanks.
yeah just apply a small amount of heat to the ends and they fuse together stops them coming apart all the way up, dont apply too much though or you just make a big plastic blob at the end
Awesome case, I am very jealous of this one, personally thinking of getting a little devil case and doing some extreme watercooling for my next build!

Nice, looks like your going all out on your first water cooled build. I will be following this
Thanks chaps.
Next issue - pumps. Here are the two D5 laing pumps with Alphacool pump tops attached. My question is, I see there are 4 holes, and I presume the ones with arrows (first picture) are the inlet/outlet? Or can you use any one of these four holes?
Not really sure - would help if Alphacool produced a picture or something.
Here they are
Thanks chaps.
Oh, and this is my attempt at sleeving (I actually burnt a fan whilst applying heat shrink and watching Taken at the same time). I will sleeve extensions another time because I just don't have the time at moment. Maybe next summer's project.

Hi, yes, and I feel sick in the stomach with worry that I'm goning to muck it up.
hehe whats the worst that can happen?
i think its great, maybe show all the mistakes so others get to learn
ive never built a watercooling setup, ive toyed with a couple others have built but thats not the same so im really interested in this build
i was taught you learn fastest by doing, i built pc's from the age of 10 maybe before and i sure have broke a few too
ive got to try build a water sometime
its the leak testing bit that scares me!
