    Not me. Literally no parts I would choose.

    Update (7/10/2016):  Build finished.  See posts below for progress pics.

     

    Build list (Updated 7/10/2016)
    Case:  Thermaltake Core P5 Motherboard:  MSI X99 "Godlike" (got a pretty decent deal on this on Newegg where they threw in 16 gigs of RAM (which I'm currently using) and a 256 gig SSD for free) CPU:  Intel i7 5930k OC'd to 4.5ghz RAM:  Adata DDR4 2800 OC'd to 3,000mhz.  Got some Corsair RAM coolers. Video Card:  Nvidia GTX 1080 VGA Waterblock:  EK GTX 1080 plexi front w/ matching back plate SSD:  512GB Samsung 850 Pro HDD:  Seagate 2TB PSU:  Thermaltake DPS G RGB 1250w Titanium Pump/Res:  Thermaltake Pacific PR22-D5 CPU Waterblock:  XSPC Raystorm Pro Radiator:  Alphacool UT-60 480mm Fittings:  Almost all XSPC with a few Alphacool as well. To-do List: (Updated 7/10/2016)
    The soft tubing is temporary; I'm holding off on doing hardline tubing until I get my GPU situation figured out.  Hard tubing done.  Used PETG over acrylic. I'm going to probably be using Mayhems Pastel Red.  Any other suggestions for an opaque, matte red fluid?  Went with Thermaltake C1000 Red coolant instead. The GPU needs to be replaced, as I mentioned before.  Holding out for Pascal and/or Polaris.  Went with a GTX 1080 w/ an EK water block and back plate. Need to get some cable combs. I want to get cooler looking RAM (and more of it).  Avexir Red Tesla looks tempting.  Kept the same RAM because it was performing well.  Got some RAM coolers for them and OC'd. Looking to procure a Samsung 950 Pro to use as a boot drive. Need to clean up the cabling on the front once everything is in place.  
    Just running a test to make sure everything works:

     

     
    Okay, time to start putting everything together for reals!

     
    Almost done!

     
    Success!  Here's where it's at right now (more pics to come as I finish the build):
