Looking good 
If you don't mind me asking how did you decide 2 40mm rads will be enough cooling?

Looking really good man, want christmas to come around just to see this finished.
Another question if you don't mind. Could you not attached a rad to the two fans at the back? The ones usually ducted to the heatsinks.

It would be tricky for a few reasons...
The fans that go in that space only clip into place so there are no screws... therefore the radiator would not have a good seal between the fans without a somewhat unprofessional seal
I like to have reliable screws!!Also, That is the place where I am putting the pump and i can't suspend the pump from the acrylic or vibrations could be a serious problem!

Update time!
The stock cooler...
The 'x-clamps' that have caused so many red rings of death were a ***** to get off!!
Marvel at microsoft's increadible ability to apply TIM
I put Kooalance VGA ram sinks on all the major chips on the pcb that wouldnt be watercooled...
Finally, I soldered on a molex cable to the underside of the pcb...
Christmas is getting near now.... not long till the watercooling goes in

Sweet as...can't wait to see what the rad will look like! Get some white cathodes in there too
Did you spray paint indoors? Spray painting outside at this time of the year can make the paint crack...and I'm meant to be doing it this week :O

i sprayed it in the warmer part of last week so it was ok!!
It all depends on the paint you pick really.
... special thanks to MotherMayI for the help with that.
