Couldn't come up with a better name so this will do.
Have started this project now.

Using EK XTX rads for all my cooling. In fact all my blocks are EK too. Have the Supremecy Elite block for the CPU and EK 780 blocks for the 2 of 780 GTX Cards.

Tried to get a 480 in the bottom with a 360 in the front. No way is that going to happen. Have decided to put the 360 in the bottom and will be ordering another 360 for the front (not in stock at OCUK at present).
Would really like solid tubing but will need to see if its possible, maybe a mixture.

Yes 900D and the Gigabyte OC Force mobo with the block fitted. Have managed to get another 360XTX. Just need to wait for delivery which wont be here till after Christmas.... bugger.
 
Just a little update (no pics though. Got them on camera but laptop not working).
Have tried bending the 12/16mm solid tube but it bubbled up. Going to use bends now and straight tube. Have got most of loop together now, just waiting for a few more parts to arrive. Need to pipe from top 480 rad to chipset block and top 480 to bottom 360. Have got the chipset block to cpu in and cpu out to both 780's.
Have joined the bottom 360 to front 360, so just need to get bottom gcard to pump in and front rad to pump out as well as the aforementioned.
Just hope I don't need any more parts. Don't like having to wait for deliveries.
 
At last have it up and running and have got some pics up. Solid tubing was a pain in the ass. Only problem is my top gcard doesn't appear to be working. Not happy going to have to drain down, remove block, install original and then test.
Also have got to install Win 8.1.
As said the acrylic tube is very difficult to use (well I think it is) there is no giving when you want to try and bend it in between fittings.

Not only is my top Gcard not working I also have no sound from mobo. Wondering if the motherboard in knackered. Not going to be very happy as this is a total strip down, then a wait for RMA.

Bummer mate, hope you get it sorted. Love the colour scheme though, very nice work.

Yes it is.
Have got to remove most parts and try top gcard in 2nd slot and see if its working. If it is working then at least I know the mobo is knackered (well there's no sound from it from speakers or headphones). So either way the mobo has got to go back.

Have requested RMA for mobo and Gcard

Well for some reason the top 780 has started to work
. Just run some benchmarks and all is good. I even plugged the Dell into it and got a picture, where as yesterday I had no output. Please let the sound start working. Really don't want to strip it down.
