In real life it looks more black :)
Next job in the future is to get some black screws to replace those nasty ones.

Looking good so far

Make sure you bleed the pump as much as possible, if you don't (because of the angle) it will just churn up the air that is left inside it (no pumpy + lower life span + higher running noise)

Could have told me earlier!!! Was pumping air for about 10 seconds... Seems to be ok now though.

Final Pics up in 10 minutes.
 
Thanks for all the good comments!

Things left to do....

1. Get fan controller (any recommendations for a rig like this?? must be simple, dont really want temp sensors)

2. braid all unbraided wires.

3. Change all barbs for compressions.

4. change radiator screws with black ones.

1. There is a zalman fan controller which is pretty nice, brushed aluminium, controls 6 fans and has no display on it.

2. MDPC-X is the best for braid

3. I would go with matt black bitspower

4. Where do you live? I have a matt black spray which works wonders and does not leave drip marks. I sprayed my screws with it and you can even see the slight indentations where it helps your fingers grip on to them to turn them!

Thanks for the help mate.
I live in worcester... well nearby.

Those edited pics look great! I love whatever it is that you've done to them! :)

Is it really such an issue that I mentioned a company that we all know exists, simply because the company I work for does not sell that product? No.
It was also in the same post that I linked engstrom0304 to an item that we do sell (hope he buys it ;))

I will be buying that tomorrow yes!
