few more piccys, not happy with the supposedly yellow led for the raystorm, looks very much orange to me, have contacted co. where i got it from for a replacement, anyway still got a fair bit of wiring to sort.
will get it sorted fully and clean the OP up as a few parts have changed

think i may have a go at braiding ant put a couple of yellow braids in the 24pin and the pci-e cables i think that would look quite good, and need to sell my old system before i purchase 2nd lightning or i may wait for a 8970 lightning
Used 1.75 litres of fluid, none spilt, and used about 1.7m of tube, think the monsta's drank it all!!!
OP updated
Thx, liquid metal ultra under ihs and gelid gc extreme on top.
Well done lol, how long did it take to lap the IHS? I might mirror polish mine lol. I really want to get a CPU loop going. I don't like the 60mm rads though I think they hide the sexiness of the motherboard heatsinks. Look's better in your chassis, seems to have lots of room up top.
Took bout 10 mins to lap and polish, rads are 80mm, changed waterblock led to stock blue one, which look better than the orange one.
Going to change top tube(long one) to go through the roof/side to show mobo better.

Have you not seen the monsta's before??
Wow 80mm xD, that would almost cover the cpu block in my chassis I think I will go for a smaller rad myself, look's better to my eyes. I do like how BIG your rad is though. Think I can get a 280mm up top in mine but will be using a 240mm most likely.

could have got a 420 up top without modding, but they dont do a monsta version!!
Nope. I don't see many with them on other forums either.
