Hahaha get that a lot. I know the HAF is practical etc but ive got to be honest. I just didnt like it. Not into the industrial look on cases. Im kind of wishing I bought the Obsidian but im buggered if im paying for another case within weeks.

IMO the HAF is FUGLY! My TJ07 looks epic. The cosmos S is a pretty good case aswell

Instead of the XSPC rad or the GTS (stealth), I would go for the SR-1 as it has really dense fins, meaning the fans can be at low RPM's whilst it cools efficiently.It's worth the extra money

The squeezy bottle is pointless a funnel will be better.

Make sure the tubing cutter is a good one (around £10) if you go for one.

And for the fans, I would recommend the Enermax apollishes. they look amazing and are silent!

What fan controller are you getting? And where's the water?

Wouldnt dense fins imply that you'd need to run fans at high RPM to push air through the rad?

Squeezy bottle is far from pointless. I don't have one myself but I can see that it would speed up the process of filling and minimise chances of spillage.

Recommending fans because they look great and have flashing lights is hardly helping the OP maximise his cooling capacity. Certain fans are better suited to particular rads due to static pressure. Maybe he'd be better sticking with the Scythe GTs he has selected or he may want to consider Akasa Vipers. Unfortunately neither have flashing lights but, hey ho, they get the job done.
 
Yep im going to stick with the fans i selected and the rad.

Squeezy bottle is still going on the order. For the couple of quid it seems like a winner to me.
