No it hasn't 
Bit this lot turned up:
And this:
Then I put the pumps, pump tops and reservoirs together and did some basic leak testing.....
(You didn't expect that did you?)
Following that I put one of the pumps and one of the reservoirs in my current build so I could RMA my old one (which is even worse that I thought it was (photo of that tomorrow))
I found that the reservoir (while it will be fine in the 900d, was far too big for my current case, so it's a bit f a hack and slash job to get it usable:
If you look close you can see my titans

Please note I couldn't be bothered to photo all 11 sets of crystal link (that can come later).
I also stupidly only bought 1 "T" fitting where I meant to get 2 of them... I'll sort that out later...

It makes sense since the release date is around the 4th 
That's if there are enough to go around all the pre orders. Hopefully mine will turn up next week too!

I know it makes sense...
I just want to get started (also my New SSD, 2xTitan Waterblocks, 2x 480mm Rads and my 11 Fans are bundled with the same order... So all are waiting on the Case)
Whooo they've released everything else for shipping today!
So I should be able to get started with a few bits once the fittings arrive from the neatherlands.

hands up if you love fittings 
(Just resizing the photos now)
I had to wait for this order to arrive before I could measure up for the height adjustments between the RAM blocks and the other Motherboard & CPU blocks.
Titan Waterblocks should arrive monday, so they'll probably get fitted tuesday. With the rest of the fittings turning up (hopefully) Wednesday. This should give me time to get the crystal links on the motherboard, and the blocks on the titans.
Also should have a chance to flush out the second loop (fittings / res / pump and 2 480mm Rads) before the case turns up next weekend.
So things are coming along nicely

No-one said watercooling was cheap...
There's about 20 packs of Crystal Link that I haven't figured out how to photograph yet...
I'll photograph my PCI-E Cables tomorrow, as I've just finished sleeving the 3rd one...
(Only 2 more to go)
Still got my 24pin ATX, 8+4 MB, 4 & 5 pin power...
The more I think about it the more depressing it is!
On the other hand it looks really good!

Sooooo my new SSD arrived along with my Aquaero 5 LT, and my 11!!! fans...
I've taken pictures, then hooked them all up to the PWM fan controller on the Aquaero 5, and it runs them all like a dream!! EPIC!
I'll need to run extenders and things when the new case arrives... but that's irrelevant as I'm so happy I can run 10 fans off the PWM controller (the 140mm fan is only 3 pin ) But that will run off another fan header.
I think I'm going to pull one of my titans out tonight, and start fitting the waterblock & back plate.
Or my other option is to spend my evening re-installing windows (but I can't do that and watch Game of Thrones!!!)
I've also "installed" (temporarily) the 8 Fans on the 480mm radiators (to test them all).
As with everything I'm not planning on voiding the warranty on the fans until I've run them for a few weeks to make sure there are no issues.
(I need to void the warranties to dye them).
Although I've had a couple of issues with my XSPC Reservoir, these new Rads look and feel great. (photos with the Nocura NF-12's installed later this evening).

So close... I can almost taste it...
Sad times, I can't fit the Titan block tonight, I discovered I need a Torx-6 screwdriver which I don't have!
DOH! (Hardware store tomorrow I guess!)

That's strange because I have one of those and when I went to do the Titan,
It turns out its just a normal screw driver! What make is the Titan?

Asus, there are the 2 screws between the slots (Phillips) and 4 with springs (Phillips) then another 10 or so torx-6 screws!

I have asus but different screws then I guess, because I bought the torx-6 for my
680s. They just appear to be Phillips

Right, Update time:
Toys!! (well Radiators, Fans, and Waterblocks....)
Fans fitted on to the 480mm Rads
Close up (colours are a little off :/ )
Torx-6 driver purchased: Waterblocks attached!....
As awesome as the stock Titan cooler is I just love this:
I've only done the one titan, so I can still use my PC until I get my new case. When I do the next one I'll take some in progress pics!
I don't want to photograph my sleeved cables until I have the new case, because until they are taught and tied they just spread all over the place, and don't look as good as they could do.

This evening should be full of updates as the last of my fittings has arrived.
So this evening will be filled with draining my loop and redoing the routing for the motherboard / RAM / CPU blocks.
