I feel somewhat stupid actually watercooling the RAM. Hopefully it'll look as good as I want it to!

Everything mounted up:

Some quick leak testing - I'm not too sure about the FC link as I've never used one before!

The holes were ever so slightly too low, so I drilled a hole above the standard one, then filed down to join them together.

Rad installed:

A standard fan won't fit. I can either: Use a slimmer rad, use a slimmer fan or use no fan. I'm gonna go for the slimmer fan :)

Now to mount the HDD....

Got the ****er off at last :D

Needed an.. unconventional method:

Someone sent me the wrong fitting, these can't both be 1/2 :/

I did this and called it a night yesterday. I'm not sure what I was trying to do, I think I wanted to do a leak test. My brain does not work well under fatigue :p
