How do you get the fish inside? 
Looks like a cool idea, are you gonna put some lights behind the reservoirs? I used to have a bay res many years ago and it used to look cool when the light shined through it in a dark room, sort of swirly blue lights all over the walls.

@DR_Pingu, Thanks and of course I won't 
I've been a bit busy so I delayed editing my final unboxing/tutorial video, but it's coming in a day or two (I hope so)
@BluD, Teleport them of course
I'm still thinking about a type of cooling fluid.. I'm considering whether I should use pastel or UV reactive coolant.. And if I use pastel, I will use RGB lights in front of reservoirs; and if I go with UV, I will probably put some lights behind.. But I'm also not sure about the thickness of reservoirs.. Will have to test those stuff when I get there
And I want to say THANKS to all of you supporting me!

Sorry guys for no updates for a while.. I was quite a bit sick.. Got some stomach flu and than a regular flu.. ****** stuff all around..
But I'm better now, and let's get this ball rolling again!
Update:
I've entered this mod in Cooler Master Mod Competition 2015, and you can show your support there as well: http://goo.gl/WQdj1Q
Bitspower was finally sent me (I hope) the right fittings and not some prototypes again And also, I will do a review of one of their upcoming products, and I hope many more later
Everything is remeasured and prepared for some heavy wood and wall work, and I'll start chopping in the next few days
I've also finished my final EK motherboard block video, which will be rendering overnight and uploaded tomorrow and here is a shot of that
And that's all for now, cya a bit later when this video gets uploaded

@Xyger, I hope so and yeah, I went all out on watercooling thanks to my sponsors
And here it is, Unboxing and Mounting tutorial of EK-FB GA G1.Sniper 5 - Acetal+Nickel

Some of you on the forums and some sponsors have asked did I do some "actual" work, so today I took some time to prebuild the system on the floor, just so you all can see the layout and to test-fit everything, and to check out my computer measurements with the things I already built
Also I've done some tube bending, but I'm waiting for BP fittings to arrive to finish that.. And you can also see some types of screws, nuts, bolts and washers that I'll use to mount this beast to the wall
Also I've done some tube bending, but I'm waiting for BP fittings to arrive to finish that.. And you can also see some types of screws, nuts, bolts and washers that I'll use to mount this beast to the wall
So, today I made a couple of things..
Firstly I drilled holes in "main board" (that's how I'll call it from now on) for motherboard standoffs and 4 SSD's.. For now I have only 2 SSD's, but I'll contact a couple of manufactures to see if they can contribute for 2 more, or 4 new ones
Also, SSD's will be easily removable, cause I'll pre-attach these bolts and plexiglass (later about that) on SSD, and then just slide it into these holes, and bolt heads will get stuck and it won't be able to fall out, but just as a precaution I will probably put some velcro or double sided tape too.
Then I test fitted everything and made this plexi cutout for cable extenders, and you'll see later how I'll implement them

@colinmcr, I didn't drill it there lol
And you probably won't see it by the end of the build (and not even then, cause it will be covered), so I'll explain it right now... It's just a holder for cable extenders that I'll build.. And I will individually put every cable trough it for 24pin and 8x 6+2pin and then put the connectors on top.. And I will only pull out the cables that I need for the build, which leaves me room of easy GPU upgrade from 2 to 3 or 4 for example, without having to mod more holes or extention cables
I did some more work today More drilling, jigsawing, sanding and voila! PSU bracket and holes for 2 fans are compete

Hey guys, new update !
The last part of Bitspower parts has finally arrived and those problematic fittings are much better now.. So in a last couple of days, I took the time to test them, decide where and how everything will fit and test-fit everything, and bagged and tagged it
Also, I almost finished marking everything up for cutting and I only need to design 1 more plexi panel and finalize the design of reservoirs.. And I hit the problem with those 3 big curved plexi covers, cause apparently no-one in my country can curve plexiglass in that radius, but only in strait 90 degree angle.. blahh.. So yeah, I will probably have to change my design a bit, but I don't think you will be disappointed with what I came up with
And here are a few shots
