No problem,this loop will work ok as long as the first pump in the flow from the res is switched on first and the last pump is switched on when the loop is full.
 
The pumps would be better together in series tho.
 
As for the res being on its side aligned with the pump....well,i have done that many times.
 
Example:
 

 

 
One of my early builds,less than a foot of tube in the whole loop too.

Just to be completely safe, I too would do something to raise the reservoirs a bit above the pumps. But I guess it will be fine anyway.
 
I am also a bit worried that your second pump intakes from the radiator to the right. It is always better to have the pumps intake directly from the res, even if it might not look as good. Other than that it looks great.

I see no problems other than it's gonna be the thickest desk mankind has ever seen.

I get all my tools/wring from http://lutro0-customs.com/
and then all my sleeving from http://en.mdpc-x.com/
 
I don't know of anyplace in NZ where you can get stuff for custom length cables..

Perhaps, I don't really think of things in context.

Maybe hes going to put his impact with the bitspower water block in a bitfenix

You can't do this to the H100i......
 

 

For pump safety in a fail situation:
 
Connect the RPM wire to the CPU fan header.
Set BIOS to shut down in advent of CPU fan fail.
If the header reads zero RPM from the pump,the PC will shut down.
 
 
Simple,free and fool proof.

yup mines 11.5 inches, and my h100i tubing is ...

Hey, aren't u the same guy who created the pc desk with over 400 posts?

Hey guys
I wanted to have a watercooled rig for a long time now, and now I finally started building one! This is my first buildlog ever, in which I wanted to share my experiences with you, because this is an awesome forum with even more awesome people. As I really love custom loops, I wanted to watercool my whole rig at once, so I went for a new case. My old one was the NZXT Phantom which really had plenty of room to put stuff in, but it was older and there weren’t that many rad-slots so I decided to get the Corsair Obsidian 900D, which is pretty much as big as it can get.
I’m really an esthetics-guy so the only choice for the reservoir was a tube-res. I chose the Phobya Balancer 250mm for, which I wanted to fill up with green liquid.
 
 
 
Hardware:
 
CPU: Intel 3770K
Mainboard: Asus Sabertooth Z77
RAM: Corsair Dominator 8GB (2x4)
GPU: Nvidia GTX 780
PSU: Corsair AX860i
SSD: Samsung 840 pro 128GB
HDD: 2x 1TB WD Cabiar Black in RAID0
 
I had to take the heatsink off the RAM, due to its ugly red color which would have just completely destroyed the green colorscheme. They really don’t look that bad without the heatsink, they’re just completely black.
 
Watercooling-Hardware:
 
CPU-block: Swiftech Apogee HD 4-port
GPU-block: Watercool Heatkiller GPU-X GTX780 “hole-edition”
Pump: Alphacool VPP655
Reservoir: Phobya Balancer 250mm
Rads: 2x Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 480mm
Fans: 8x Silverstone AP121 – green 120mm
Case: Corsair Obsidian 900D
Tubing: Masterkleer PVC 3/8’’
Fittings: Koolance G1/4 3/8’’ black
 
 
For the looks, I bought a GPU-backplate and the really sharp looking individually sleeved PSU-cables from Corsair.
 
Makeup:
 
GPU-backplate: Watercool Heatkiller GPU backplate GTX 7X0
PSU-cables: Professional individually sleeved DC cable kit Type3
Liquid: Mayhems Pastel – mint green
 
 
 And now what you actually want to see
Pictures:

 

 
I had to take out the HD-bays in the bottom to fit my rad and the pump down there.
 

 
I was really impressed when the custom sleeved cables came in from Corsair. They look so beautiful and the green really seems to glow 
 

 

 

 

 
I mounted the Phobya Balancer to the HD-cages. This way I didn't had to drill holes myself, I was able to screw in between the rails for the hd-bays.

 
The Silverstone AP's just look so good at night. I took of the "side-panel" that covered the bottom part of the 900D for better airflow. If it would still be there, you wouldn't be able to see much of the glow at all.
 

 
When mounting the CPU-block I accidentally managed to bend one of the MB-pins  :unsure: But as lucky as I am, I was able to bend it back successfully without damaging it. But for a moment I was really scared 
 

 

 
The cables go perfectly with the black background from the 900D

 
Please just ignore the red SATA cable  I'll have to change it but at the moment, I had no other laying around.
 

 

 

 
The filling actually went smoother than I thought it would. I was frightened to actually fill the loop up, but it turned out to be the easiest part of the whole project 
 

 

 

 
The bleeding takes longer than I thought. I got the machine running now for about 2 weeks and when I turn it off, sometimes I still see small bubbles around some fittings.
 

 
 
 
Thats about how far I am at the moment. I'm still waiting for the LED-strips (green) to be delivered. I'll take some glamour-shots when I've really finished everything, but I'm interested in what you think about my rig and I'm looking forward to reading your comments.  :lol:
 
Thanks for reading

With hard tubing you need to bend/form it first. You use a heat gun and a silicone tube and then heat the tubing until it is pliable and bend it to the angle you need. Here is the video Primochill made explaining it.

Yeah, I think I've said it like 3 or 4 times? haha
 
 
 
and w00p in the Live Stream 2 weeks in a row!

Would defs not recommend it, ive got one and it didnt feel very secure when i just had the end ones in when mounting it

taken NZ DIY to the next level bro, awesome

Unless you get a new rule in the CoC forbidding internet speed discussion on PBaines posts, you'll have to ask the dudes nicely

Your avatar is just perfect for that comment.

something very very very very se..I mean disturbing most likely

Just print screen the sketchup, and upload the image to something like flickr, and then when posting here press the "image" Icon and copy and paste the direct photo link

Yes, it will be, I think he meant it might not necessarily be this week though.

Hope you get better soon.
LOL.

Ok, so this is not exactly the usual build log, but please bear with me!
I have ordered:
1x Mikrotik CloudCoreRouter:  CCR1016-12G Which is going to get used as a Router and a Switch! (16Cores and 2GB RAM!)
1x Mikrotik RB260GS, which is getting used as a Switch for the Ethernet TV signals
1x Ubiquiti UniFi Long Range AP, which as you migth already have guessed is getting used as an access point
 
I have also ordered 305M CAT6 cable, and a cable-stapler, cable-staples and RJ45 plugs!
 
I have already started with some of the cables, which is nothing exiting or fun, but I will probably get the Router, Switch and AP very soon, hopefully even tomorrow!
 
 
Is this something you want to see, or should I just ditch the buildlog idea?

Dont forget (PS. No driver disk, as expected ):

 
Enough with the boxes!
 
The 260GS unit

 
And on the other side an SFP-cage

 
The UniFi round clean looking sweetness!

 
CloudCore router:

The Matte-White finish is the best iv'e ever seen, or touched, it was just amazing!
 

On the back we find some fans, that only spin up at start, and at high load!
 
Here is the CloudCore from an angle:
 

Here you can see the rack-mounts aswell!
 
Just dumping some quick picks of the programming


Port forwarding, which actually were pretty easy, but not that much documented online!

And my ISP finally bridged my modem!

 
It also has so many "cool" functions, like this one:

Here is a pic of the ones available at stock firmware:

I thnk that is it for now, going to post some placement pics later
 
Some thougths:
1: The MicroTik/Routerboard products looked and felt great!
2: With the MicroTik/Routerboard you need to know what you are doing, or get some help! Here MicroTik/Routerboard has done a great job! Cudos! The WinBox software is also FANTASTIC, and makes everything just a bit easier, the router also has a web GUI
3: The Ubiquiti AP was as easy to "program" as it is to slice bread, almost
4: Blazing fast speeds! Ok, so I might have had 25/25 with the generic modem, but even at the same speeds, and the same ping, the Routerboard just surpasses everything I have ever tried! I mean, it is even faster than 100/100, 1ms to vg.no, with a modem in between (both using 8.8.8.8 DNS)
5: There is almost nothing that you can not do! So to say everything is possible
6: Customization, I am now talking about on the hardware level, with the routerboard, if you buy the a little bit more expensive version, you can get SFP cages, which makes the Routerboard even more customization
 
Love to hear back from you!

What the hell, bring that bitch on! Something different for a change.

The original intention of the change of coolant colour was to match it to "Gigabyte Orange". That I have done 100%. It's just the MDPC-X Sleeve that doesn't match so perfectly but still, to me personally I love it way more
