10 Noctua NF-F12 Fans

Plus Bitspower Crystal Link fittings (unknown quantity)
2 Aquacomputer D5 USB / Aquabus Pumps
Aqua Computer Aquaero 5 LT USB Fan-Controller

Either Koolance RP-452X2 (rev 2) Reservoir
or
2 Bitspower 250mm Tube Reservoirs

Mayhem's Coolant (either pastel white + dye, or water + dye)

2 Corsair Force 3 (60GB) HDD's
1 2TB WD HDD
and a couple of other HDD's

I think that's everything.

Mods:
MDPC-X Sleeving
Rit Dye (for the Fans)

Again; I think that's it

I need the case (7th June)

I'm transferring everything except the res, graphics card blocks, pumps, and the crystal link from my current case (Thermaltake Level 10GT) As it doesn't have the space for 4 Rads + everything else.

However I will post some shots of my current case; Hopefully the sleeves will turn up soon so that I can start modding my cables.

But before I start, I have a few questions!

What colours should I choose? Black is certainally going to feature I've seen some really cool looking cabling in:

Black / White / Violet
(24 pin was 4 Black, 4 Violet, 8 White, 4 Violet, 4 Black)
Black / Red / White

Or another option?

Assuming a 3 colour cabling I'd use the other 2 colours other than black for the coolant.
(If i was using white i'd use Pastel coolant)
 
Nice we are pretty much building the same build.
I'm using crystal links for the mobo, I think I'm going to use acrylic tubing
Everywhere else! And yes I need the case, 7th of June hurry up :(

I'm going to be using pastel white and red I think. With a bay res for one loop
And a tube res for the titans. I have a build log white knight, but turns out the modded tj07 is just too small. If your spending that much get the 3930k :D
 
I already have most of the kit, it's just I don't have space in the level 10 GT for 4 Radiators!

If i was spending that much upfront I would indeed get the 3930k!

It's just the second loop, crystal link, and titan waterblocks I don't have. (And the Case)

Although there are several companies advertising it at the 30th of May release rather than the 7th of June...
 
Pretty much everything (other than the Crystal Link and annoyingly I forgot the Liquid) is on order now.

Hopefully everything other than the Case should be here in the next couple of days.

Build log will start once things start arriving
 
Yeah it is...

I bought all of my MDPC sleeving this evening...

Going for:
Black, Black, Violet, Violet, White, White, White, White, Violet, Violet, Black, Black
Black, Black, Violet, Violet, White, White, White, White, Violet, Violet, Black, Black

Across my 24 pin connectors and will probably require adding a fake pin to my loom to get it looking right

Running the same theme down my SATA; although I will need to change it up a little to do my Titans as they run 7 total cables (Which is really annoying for a 3 colour build)

I think most (if not all) of my molex's will be hidden in the bottom section of the build, and I think I'll sleeve all of the hidden cables in plain black; just doing the visible cabling (through the window) in the paterned sleeving.

As I'm doing custom looms I'll probably work on the wiring while other things are going on, so it might be a while before all of the wiring is completed.

I've ordered 3 litres (Which I hope should be enough) of the Mayhems Ice White Pastel coolant, and a bottle of purple dye, I'll connect up my pump to a jug and colour half of the coolant to match the violet sleeving.

I've spent the evening practicing my sleeving... The black I've got is reasonable quality, however the white and red is awful. Dispite that I'm pretty pleased with the evenings results.

I'll take some photos when the light is better and post them tomorrow evening. (I only sleeved a SATA / MOLEX connector, but I'm still pretty pleased.

I hope that things should start arriving this week...

As soon as they do, pictures will be up!

And my 2 Aquacomputer D5 pumps with Aquabus have arrived in Gatwick, and my first OCUK order is "dispatched" although that was Saturday so it won't be picked up from them until tomorrow...

So that should arrive Wednesday.

That should be:

2 EK-D5 Acetal Pump tops
2 Bitspower Z-Multi tube res (250mm)
4l Pastel Ice White Coolant
10x 3wide Crystal Link
1x 4 4slot crystal link (all that was in stock)
and the parts for my drain ports (2x Black Sparkle taps, 2x "T" Fittings (the "q" style one), some plugs, some extenders, and some fittings spacers.

Some of this stuff can't come soon enough, my XSPC res is now leaking on setting 1 :(

Well... it's all arrived today: Whoohooo!

Photos will be incomming once i get home this evening!

This evening is fitting the pump tops and testing the reservoir connections etc as a small loop, with a view to replacing my bay XSPC res (which is leaking) tomorrow.
