^Love the heatpipes on this.
My now completed build (I think)
My first attempt at cabling with the corsair individual braided cables may well redo them have good temps with the H100 I have 2x SP120 Corsair performance fans in the roof sucking thru the radiator.
My attempt at cable management in the back.

Well done!

Warning, iphone photos 
. I need to buy a cheapish digital camera, was thinking the samsung wb150.
anyway:
Damn iphone doesn't do it justice! Looks nothing like that to human eyes ._..
I've tried to go for lots of metallic/chromey-looking parts as they go well with black and blue. This is why I wish aquacomputer were making the ltg full cover in nickle.
To do list:
-add ltgs to loop
-get braided cables for psu when they release
-mod psu 'ax' to blue.
-alter fan hub sticker and cables (srsly thinking about just using a permanent marker..)
Notice the messy cables coming out of the psu? Damn it's hard to manage them in this case. My door springs off when unscrewed lol. The braided cables will be easier to manage.

Nice work OptimaLnrg 
What tubes and fluid are you using, also what rad please mate, (pics needed, as I'm starting to water cool my FT02)

Here is my attempt with my Fractal Arc Midi.
Very tidy case dude as others have said i would remove that middle hdd cage for better airflow and a cleaner look too
you could even drop a fan on the base beside the psu to help get the heat out the top/rear.
Very nice, I would put your drives in the lower bay and remove the top. You will get much better airflow as the drive cage is very restrictive.
This is mine with the top cage and plastic mounts removed. You then have the 140mm fan blowing unrestricted air to the gpu and cpu area and it makes quite a difference on temps.

Not the news you want to hear lads, but my rad assembly is external. 1260 with 4 x 200mm fans.
If you watch TTLs vid on watercooling an rv02 (search "How to watercool a Silverstone Raven or Fortress RV02 FT02") it will help you out. It involves a dremel though.
In any case I can't fit the 35mm thick magicool rad in as the 680 lighting pcb is as long as a 690 lol. I only have ~30mm room. So I would have to get rid of the brackets and lose the dust filtering. Not happening!
tubing is masterkleer and fluid is mayhems x1 clear with blue + deep purple dye. (camera is making it look light).

Heres my 800D as it stands now
Next im hoping to swap out the CPU for a AMD phenom2 965 and oc it to around 4-5Ghz as a quick fix to stop the major bottlenecking the 9850Be is causing.
At the same time i'll install a Alphacool NexXxoS Monsta 360mm Radiator up top with 3x Noctua F12's in push config (should be about 2-3mm clearance over the motherboard) and stick the 240 rad in the bottom ready to cool the graphics card at a later date, Also changing the water cooling fluid to Mayhems pastel grape red to tie in with the tubing better or i might go for pastel white not too sure yet.
