Absolutely gorgeous build!

@Mike, I would need proper testing equip for side by side comparison, so I cannot honestly say these are better. I can honestly say they are dead silent "to my ears" at their default low speed. I also know their OEM is GLOBEFAN, http://www.globefan.com/who is very reputable in our industry.

 

@DJ, thank you for checking it out and commenting!

I just got the Supermicro S5 Gaming Midtower (Yes, the Server manufacturer!) and we're talking about doing fallout4 theme build for trade show in aug (crosses fingers)

Beautiful build Bill! I just pulled the trigger on a Define s, planning to make a custom psu shroud with vinyl / plastidip decals. Hopefully I can find a way to work some modders mesh / rad grill into the front (Once I get enough funds), if noise isn't impacted hugely. Looking forward to more excellent builds, and possible water cooling components in the store!

Thank you Colinreay! You're going to love the Define S. I look forward to seeing your build when it's finished.

I've had some people ask about the loop flow, so I answer here as well, for future reference

 

Res > Alphacool D5 Top > Front Rad > Top Rad > CPU Block > GPUS > Res

 

XSPC Photon Res has 3 ports on bottom, 1 fill port on top. (XSPC made oversight by not having 2 ports on top, so air can bleed out while filling)

 

Koolance Drain Valve is on bottom of XSPC Photon res.
