Good work fella! This build has 'forced' me to put an 800D in my basket. I feel a summer project looming...

Stunning build, very jealous 
That radiator is always left turned off
My room gets to 25 deg + very easily in an evening with the pc and two screens in use so have no need for any other heating.
Right, time for a small update seeing as I've made a slight change to the system and it's been 6 months since this was all started.
For the main rear fan I wanted one with blue blades or at least something blue related but couldn't find anything in a 140mm size at the time. So I ended up with a Zigmatech smoked one with white led's in it which I have to say was quite nice. Anyway, I noticed last week a place selling the same fan but with a blue blade so couldn't resist
I ended up buying two actually as I'd always thought the lower fan in the middle case floor / partition could do with being an led fan to put a small amount of light under that floor. So today I got round to braiding the cables and fitting them in the system...
Rear fan fitted:
Lower fan fitted, not the best picture but shows how it now put some lights on the lower pipes:
Quick overall picture:
And the last one for this update:
I know the new fans aren't the same aqua colour as the rest of the project but they do actually match the darker blue braid used for the alternate colour on some of the cables, so I think they work quite nicely overall.
I have to say that I'm still very impressed with the clinical grade dust filters, apart from a quick blast with the air can it really is still incredibly clean inside as the pictures show.
So I'll leave it there for now, I'm still hoping to get some proper final shots taken of the system and all details, especially now I've got these two fans installed which I've been thinking about for weeks.

amazing build, makes me want to watercool!
amazing build mate, absolutely stunning
sorry to be a pain, but can you list how many fittings you used? and say the outer diameter of your tubing?
I'm basically building the exact same system, although I may go with the 5970
also, what monitors are you looking to run on that bad boy?

Used 4 straight fittings, 2 on the radiator in and out and 2 on the pump in and out (using the dtek modified pump top tho). Then the rest were the 45 deg angle fittings, 6 in total, 2 cpu block, 2 gfx block and 2 on the res.
It's all using the 1/2" tygon tubing.
Cheers everyone!
Thanks a lot mate
what do you mean by d'tek modified pump? I saw the pictures but I thought you were using the mcp655?
so the outside diameter on your fittings is 3/4''?
sorry to be asking so many questions, but your system is just spectacular
