Ok here are a few basic photos of the loop completed.  Like I said not exactly happy with it but it will do for now.  When I put the Titan's on water I will most likely redo the loop.
 

 

 

 

You sir are more of a man than I will ever be.  Amazing work, can't wait to see the final product.

Ok here are a few basic photos of the loop completed.  Like I said not exactly happy with it but it will do for now.  When I put the Titan's on water I will most likely redo the loop.
 

 

 

 

Boring as hell empty 900D photos.  Just fyi its hard to make interesting photos with an empty case.     Shown in the layout I plan to use with only 1 HDD cage.  Plan is to mount the pump on top of that support bracket then have the reservoir attached to it with a male to male rotary fitting.  Not exactly sure if I'm going to mount it on the back or forwards yet.  
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Btw if you are wondering where the Titan is its currently being bottlenecked by a 2600k in my current pc, once I get to the point when I need to take it out I'll do some glamor shots of it.  Also tomorrow at the very least I'll be putting the new fans in along with the motherboard.  All my fittings, tubing, and res won't be here till tuesday so I can't get started on the loop quite yet.

It's finally update time, sorry it took so long.  Got the new fans, motherboard, radiator, ssd, and psu all installed.  Also did some temporary cable runs just ignore how terrible it looks right now I have some things coming that should improve the look quite a bit.  Also sorry the photos aren't quite up to the quality of the other ones, my impromptu studio/workbench isn't quite big enough for photos with the case.  Also lighting is becoming an issue for some reason, some photos make it look like I'm using a flash but haven't used it yet.  Ok lets get started then...
 
Overview of work done...
 

 
Looks like a bit of a tight fit up top?  Yeah, it is...
 

 
Had to do a little modifying to get it to fit but it should work.  Had to reinstall the rad and fans a few times, thats enjoyable by yourself...
 

 

 
At some point I might have to take up sleeving cables myself, these look alright but would prefer to have a thicker braid.  I have plans to make it look a lot straighter, that gets here Tuesday though.
 

 

 
A lot tighter fit then I was hoping for, just wish Corsair would've gave us a bit more room on top of the motherboard for larger radiators and push/pull setups.
 

 
Trying not to overdo the cliche red/black combo, its tempting to buy a set of black cables from Corsair but we'll see how this goes.
 

 
Really liking how the Noiseblockers look installed, nice clean look nothing flashy.
 

 
Kinda wishing I would've just spent the extra money on the 1200i, just noticed how much the gold is clashing...either that or I'll just take the decal off. 
 

 
Noiseblockers up front.  Had to run the cable underneath if I wanted to have the names rightside up.  The PWM fans have more opaque fan blades compared to the blades on these, not sure the reasoning behind that.
 
 
 
From the front, excuse the finger prints.  Not sure why the bottom two fans have different spacing then the top.
 

Top of the case looking down.
 

 
IO plate and the rear 140mm fan.  The fact that the fan is upside down might bug the living hell out of me forever, would be a pain to route the cables though if it was rightside up.
 

 
Since I'm not going to be using any optical bays I took off all the mounting hardware, and did some customizing to move the brackets out of the way to create a flat surface.  Then velcroed the hell out of it.  Planning on getting some new cables for it, right now it looks really meh.
 
I'll have to take a look and see what I have to install tomorrow otherwise I will have to wait till Tuesday to get the rest of my stuff.  I had to order two fittings from a different store since since mine didn't have them instock and as of right now not entirely sure when I will get that order so stay tuned!

Put sleeving over tube, spend 5 minutes getting compression fittings over sleeving and tubes and then screw on fitting.  

So I can do macro now...
 

 
I will probably get the final photos of the build up around Sunday night.

The rad fans + case replacement fans
 

 

 
140mm for the rear
 

 
3 120's for the front
 

 

 
6 PWM's for push pull on the rad
 

 
Alphacool UT60 Triple 120mm Radiator
 

 

 

 
SSD
 

 
Memory
 

 

 
AX1200
 

 

For the record I bought a DSLR just to document the build so thats the reason for the photo spam.  Also, this new hobby is becoming costly...   First step was to take pictures of all the components that are worthy of it so here goes.   The Asus Rampage IV Formula Motherboard  

 

 

 
Memory installed  
 

 
Block installed  
 

 

 

 
The 3930k  
 
The pump and components assembled, sorry about the exposure these were the first photos I took. -_-
 

 

 
The block before installation
 

 
What my plan is with sleeving the tubing
 

Boring as hell empty 900D photos.  Just fyi its hard to make interesting photos with an empty case.     Shown in the layout I plan to use with only 1 HDD cage.  Plan is to mount the pump on top of that support bracket then have the reservoir attached to it with a male to male rotary fitting.  Not exactly sure if I'm going to mount it on the back or forwards yet.

Small update, SLI Titans are running good, I'll probably wait till I get my other backplate to take finished photos, well as finished as its going to get for a few weeks at least.  Also have lots of cable management to do because it looks awful right now.

Sweet build log bro.

No point in making a thread then ignoring everyone who posts in it. :)  Camera is a T3i, most of the photos are done with the plastic fantastic F1.8 50mm lens.  Nothing fancy, its more about the lighting then anything else.
 
Better than going underboard. :)  Goal was to build something that I wouldn't be annoyed with a year later.
 
Agreed, every other memory out there tries to be extremely flashy, the Platinums were the only ones out there that I felt would look good with my build.

I'm sure at some point I may become extremely annoyed and regret my decision.
 
Here's a quick picture of the res filled and lit up.  Even with 2 led's its not quite what I was hoping for, they light up underneath more than anything else but they do produce some neat effects with the bubbles.
 

Ok got bored so I took some photos.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Some of the fittings, more coming tomorrow and Friday.
 

 

 

 


 
Tomorrow I might be able to start working on more of the loop, not 100% sure.  The fittings I need to mount the res and pump won't be here till friday.  I might be able to run one line of tubing and test out the sleeving but we'll see.
