Take the screw to your local hardware store (ACE, Home Depot, etc.) and match the length of the shank and thread pitch to one of the ones they have in their hardware stock, grab as many as you need. Prolly spend 5 bucks or so on hardware but you don't have to wait for shipping.

Upgraded to a 9900k I've had laying around for a couple weeks and redid a few tube runs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A project I call the Green Monster. Specs are as follows:
8700k
32GB 3200MHz Dominator Platinum
MSI Z370 Godlike Gaming
2x RTX 2080Ti FE
Bunch of SSDs
All shoved into a Singularity Computers Spectre gen 1 case.
 

Originally built in 2009 this has had a number of updates throughout the last decade, but have given it a bit of a spruce up for it's 10 year anniversary so thought I'd share...
 
Asus Rampage 3 Black edition, I7 980 Hex Core, 24Gb Corsair Ram, Asus nVidia 1070, Corsair Obsidian 800D Case, Mostly EKWB custom loop.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh yah this update is nice the tubes look way better imo.

Looks good! 
 
I really like the tube routes you changed in the second iteration...i wasnt a fan of the first iteration, it looked too messy to me.
 
Have you thought of building a custom harness? Since this case has a higher visibility on the power cables, there is a higher focus on bundles that would normally be hidden behind the mobo tray. 
 
Also, have you thought of maybe a cover over the rear of the case (rear I/O)? I think it would sharpen the look a lot with that small detail.

Looks, good man! 

The manifold screws starting coming loose at the bottom, which let fluid leak between the layers of acrylic. So a complete disassembly, cleaning and reassembly was in order. I went ahead and did a lot of maintenance to it, upgraded to an MSI Z370 Godlike mobo, changed the tube routes again, and ditched the RAM block for some Dominator Platinums. Also decided to ditch the black coolant and go with Koolance UV green, which reacts quite well with purple backlighting on the manifold.

So I've been hoarding parts since January when I preordered the Singularity Cases Spectre case. Got it a week ago or so and immediately threw everything into it over the course of four days, so apologies for no lead time.
 
Parts:
8700k w/ EK Spupremacy Nickel block
NZXT N7 Z370 (I know already, please stop chastising me about the stupid mobo)
Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti w/EK Vector RGB block
EVGA 1000W Supernova P2 PSU w/ custom cables by MainFrame Customs
2x WD Black m.2 500GB SSD
3x Mushkin Reactor 1TB 2.5" SSD
Singularity Computers Spectre case in black, Protium pump/res combo
Mayhems X1 Black coolant
Bitspower plated brass tubing, 16mm
Assload of fittings by Monsoon, Touchaqua, Barrow, and Bitspower
6x In Win Polaris Aluminum RGB 120mm fans installed on 2x EK 360mm thin rads
 
The pile of parts, waiting only on the case and GPU to come in.

 
Welp there's one of em.

 
The block and backplate had been sitting in my office for over a week waiting for the stupid thing.

 
And then the Spectre came in. I did a livestream of the unboxing in a Facebook PC building group so I don't have pics of the packaging, but it was well packed and annoying. Here's a pic of the custom engraving they did with a design I sent them. 

 
And so I started building.

 
Time to pressure test these looopty loops

 
I used this doohicky. Worked pretty well for a decay test after I disassembled it and fixed all the leaks in the device itself.

 
The end result was this. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I spent my PC building budget for the next three years though, so no more new PCs for me for awhile.

oooh, mine says it's going to arrive on Friday!

I got my shipping notification this morning. Itll probably arrive while I'm on vacation next week 

I've finally got my shipping notice.  It'll be the end of the week before it shows up on UPS' site, but hurrah! anyway.

So am I the only one with a case that would ship 'by the end of the month' that hasn't?

Received this email this morning. I hate that they're having so many production issues. It's a learning process I suppose. 

Got the same email as well as an offer for a free Aquaero LT 6 mount. Dunno that I'll ever install one of those, but why not?

I got an email saying mine is in 'final assembly' this morning.  Let's see how long that takes

At least one dude has received his Spectre. Check out James Builds a PC on YouTube, he did an unboxing. Interesting to note that they followed through on the custom engraving on the reservoir acrylic for the first 20 orders. Poor guy got the case too late though and is trying to sell it I think, having already started his build in a lian li case.
