Got the ****er off at last
Needed an.. unconventional method:

Awww yiss!!!! Keep the updates coming big clizzle
P.s. I would have done the same with that d5 top
As you wish
Yep, nothing I tried would work. That took 4 dremel cutting disks, lots of work with a junior hacksaw and a LOT of brute force
Updates!
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
My initial plan to mount the pumps:
Here's where I am now:

lovely graphics cards they look epic!
Thanks!
Sorry for the lack of updates. It's close to 'completion' now. Just need to hide some cables and get rid of all the air in the system.

Over a year in the making. Soon to be unveiled

I really love that case, How easily is it to hide cables in that case?

Unfortunately, it'll take a little longer than anticipated due to some minor problems with my main loop
The cable management features are non existent. It's like some of the cheapo £25 cases, but the main thing is that there is just so much spa e in the TJ11. Adding cable management features really would ruin the looks of such a beautiful case, so I don't blame Silverstone for not doing anything. There's always somewhere to hide cables!
So a tiny little update, one of my loops is lacking in pump power, so I'm thinking of buying a DC-LT pump and top for £30 and sticking it in after my res. The main issue with the current setup is that it goes Res -> 480 rad -> pump and the pump is above the rad, so I'm certainly not doing it the sensible way, but I wanted to preserve the looks as much as possible. I like where teh pump is.
The only things I don't like are the two tubes stretching from the back of the case all the way to the front, other than that, I LOVE how this is going to look!
Unconventional SSD mounting ahoy:
I'm not very good with lighting...
I was desperate to get the main loop finally flowing. Whatever I did I just couldn't get all the air out of the loop, this picture is the right way up:
The lightnings look AMAZING!
As you can see, one of the loops has no flow
Ordered a new pump (Alphacool DC-LT) to get some more flow on the main loop and help out the D5. It really is tiny, some pictures next to other things for scale:
Next to a D5:
Now to install it!

Jeezus the signature is back !
Oh my, i just loged in after a good 6 months, and remembered this build has been around almost as long as me on this forum.
And wow. i hope you finish this rig one day! maybe by the two year anniversary of starting 30th december 2011?
in seriousness though! good luck!

Lol, thanks ZZZAC.
Unfortunately it seems that my luck with graphics card is now affecting pumps instead, I may well have a faulty D5.
The DC-LT (that's the tiny pump) is actually outperforming the D5 by quite a margin, somehow.

Yeah, getting an email about this made me look back here too
at this rate I'm gonna end up making my next build by the time you've fixed your problems...

Cut a metal plate out for the pumps:
Lots of dremel disks went flying in all directions for this!
Close up of the 3 pumps and the metal plate
Two pics of the rig with UV LED strip in
Dye looks epic when it spreads through the water
Some dye samples, hard to decide, but I think I'll go pink and green
Neatened the tubing order up a bit, made a huge improvement IMO

I probably would've used a jigsaw for the cutting of the ali there
also I'm gonna say my usual jest of messiness because I'm jealous of your computer apart from the management

6 disks for 3mm Aluminum??!!
Thats just not right.

I know, I have no idea why they kept breaking
I was somewhat impatient after the first few cuts and may have rushed it too much, thereby letting the disks heat/cool too rapidly.

This build man. Like what is happening?
