Looking really good, very high quality. I like that mega big drill bit, not seen one of those before. How easy is it working the acrylic with the heat gun?

Looks fantastic, and clearly some quality work going on. I'd love to see more detail on how you are doing certain things though, so us novices can emulate those skills you're using. (ok, copy)
I like the look of that drill bit as well. Does it have an official name so I can perhaps track one down? Can think of a few uses for that.
You casually say you "switched the LED's from blue to white". Did that require changing resistors, etc? I'm wanting to change my power LED and others to get an all-green colour scheme.

I believe the drill bit is an adjustable hole cutter , such as this one : http://www.sourcingmap.com/steel-adjustable-plane-type-circle-hole-cutter-40200mm-p-17751.html?currency=GBP

Thanks for the reply - but that link is to a tool that specifically can't be used for metal!

Lol , didn't know that you were looking for one for use with metal
Should be plenty around which can though , I just linked to the 1st one I found 
Bit more progress made, apologies for the image sizes and possible colour differences as i'm on my laptop now without Photoshop.
Rad flushing, a job i hate doing but it is worth getting the rubbish out.
Always flush a 2nd hand rad, unless you want to inherit the previous colour ;
Just as important, clean a NEW radiator too ;
Boiling water with clear vinegar, and keep flushing til you get a clear result.
Afterwards flush out with de-ionised water.

Time to start fitting the blocks and stuff.
Hardest part was removing the original heatsink from the mobo, had to use a heatgun to warm it up abit and plenty of elbow grease.

Mounted the pump on the back of the mobo tray and braided all the fan extension cables.
Dual res will feed the D5 pump and the main loop, the smaller rad at the front is for my OCZ Flex memory loop.

Sprayed the DVD drive as the end of it was visible from the inside ( the 3 holes on the back are from a previous mod and will be covered ) ;
Mounted inside ;
Onto another test fit, this time with the motherboard installed ;
