Thanks! This has been a year-long process, which saw the first iteration of this build in a Corsair 900D. Please, for God's sake, DO NOT BUY a 900D!!! That case is a piece of crap!!! In any case, I had to buy the fans in a few batches due to their rather high cost.

OK, Some of you guys are missing the allusion to "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". The Computer in that novel is called "Deep Thought". When it is turned on, it tells everyone it is the second most powerful computer... but it will design the MOST powerful computer...The Earth... My use is a tongue-in-cheek reference, because I'm a Douglas Adams fan.

All of the cables will be re-done. I'm going to order extensions soon. The two res' are actually two loops. The GPU loop is on the 560 rad, and the CPU/MOBO block is on the 480 & 240 rads.

The LED's are actually UV. The coolant is actually UV reactant. The effect won't work without the lights.

Just finished my STH10 build.

I have all three connected to the top card.

I don't remember the exact cost of only the fittings, but I have about $1200 in this loop. That includes blocks, radiators, pump, and fittings.

I am running a setup with option 2. Works fine, just as Jayztwocents said.

My mobo was bad from the beginning. Just got the replacement, and new benchmarks are quite better. Unfortunately, my CPU is still from a crap batch. Firestrike: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4595215 Firestrike extreme: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4595485 Firestrike ultra: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4595665

Dual Titan X's, and formerly dual EVGA Dual Classified 780ti's.

I'm running the same rig, only 5960x instead, and I'm getting 40's to 90's FPS in world of tanks, running x3 ROG Swifts. It is an amazing experience. I may, however, add a third Titan X just to bump up past 60 fps. And don't worry, Gsync works on all three monitors.

If I did, I would have NO problem dumping Razer for another quality brand.

I can verify the EK 780 Classy block fits the 780 ti classified cards. Before I bought my Titan X's, I ran two 780ti classifieds. I used these very blocks on them. They work well. Temps in 30's to low 40's °C.

I've been running this for the past thirteen months. It's rock solid, and I highly recommend it! ASUS RT-AC68U Wireless-AC1900 Dual Band Gigabit Router IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA25V2SC3256

I actuall really love it! I have to re-train myself to look toward the peripheral monitors! I think it is an awesome experience! Now, is it worth the money??? Eh...

So much for the "Not worth the price to performance" crowd. Clearly, according to the current market, the price point favors the consumer!

Phone->computer->thread.

My sentiments exactly!

Not the greatest. Maybe a third Titan X will be needed.

Man, I'm sorry to hear that. Hope things turn out well for the little guy.

Here are some pics of my rig.

No BF4, but I've been thinking about buying it. If I do, I'll let you know.

I own the previous version of this case (handed down to my wife after I finished my X99 build). I really like it, but there is VERY little room for custom cooling. I ran an H100i in the front with push-pull. With this configuration I had almost no room between the rad fans and my GPU (GTX 680). As for the basement, good luck sticking anything but drives and your PSU down there. It is really cramped. I don't think I would want to try to stick a pump and res down there. If I were you, I'd look for a more water cooling friendly case. I wound up going with the 900D, although I now regret not going with a caselabs STH10. You don't need to spend a ton on a case, but imho, the HAF XB is not the case you want to do a custom loop in. In addition to a different case, I'd go with two bigger rads. Maybe a 480, and a 240 or 360. It's not that you're going to need a ton of cooling; it's just going to get really messy with all of the tubing required to connect all of those blocks and rads...plus fewer rads will be easier on your pump. You actually probably only need one 480, if you are only running one GPU, and your CPU.
