Caselabs <3 Love the styling of them
Had some more gear arrive and had a play around with fitting so I could get some ideas of how the final setup will look 
The fans I want are on back order at the moment so I fitted the radiator into the mounting mechanism without them for now.
I also ordered a selection of hex head bolts from china in black which look awesome, will try and get some close-up pictures of them. These will be used to mount the radiators and fans into the case.
The lowest radiator outlet has a short piece of flexible tubing and then a T piece which will be fitted with a drain tube and plug for easy draining.
Went with a 220mm Barrow reservoir which looks identical to the Bitspower one and feels like a well made item (5mm thick plexi), this will be mounted directly onto my alphacool D5 top mount and then mounted to the front of the case.

Been sometime since the last update!
Work and holiday has gotten in the way but I have finally managed to make some progress.
I didn't want to take the drill to my Caselabs case so I hit up on an idea of using some of the 3M VHB double sided polyurethane tape that GoPro use for their camera mounts. Seems to work fine and holds the weight of the full reservoir with ease.
Attached the hard drives and SSD to the hidden mount which slides under the motherboard tray. This was a PITA to get the cables routed into but gets rid of the unneeded clutter within the case.
Final assembly and pressure testing the loop with an improvised pressure gauge (up to 12 PSI only).
