Respawning...
Any good? A few concerns are that the case only has 3 5.25" drive bays, now I want to use a fan controller, an optical drive and a bay res. Unless someone can spec me a better pump and res combo I am a bit stuck there. Anything else you would change?

Thank you for your time.
 
Looks fine to me, might be cheaper to buy the XSPC stuff in a kit (don't know as haven't checked)

Actually just noticed your going for 10mm fittings so probably best to buy separately as listed.

edit - also you will only need 2l of fluid and might be easier to go for X1 if you want clear to save adding bioside or silver coils.

I am a complete amateur to this, I'm especially amateur when it comes to fittings. Are they the best to use? I have no idea. My plan eventually is to have:

z77 sabertooth motherboard
i7 3770k
vengeance black ram
evga gtx680 4gb with backplate (watercooled)

All inside that case. Now I like that case because of how it will look, black and white coloring. However I also like that bay res combo, but I also want a fan controller and a optical drive but I can't have all of them. Any ideas? Maybe a tube res with white fluid and a d5 pump and a top of some sort. Any suggestions?

I am also looking at going for a switch 810.
 
you can buy a cheap four fan controller and mount it inside your case? freeing up space for a res and dvd drive?
 
I haven't used EK fittings my self, the rest of the set up in great IMO (but you only need 8 fittings for that set up)

The Switch 810 seems to be the most popular for water cooling at the moment - again haven't used it but sure a few people who have will comment soon.
 
Jeff is right.

The inside diameter is the same but the outside isn't so the screw bit on the fitting won't fit.
