In the background is the coolant temp. I fitted the display in the mobo tray. Sensor is in the 3rd port on the bottom of the res.... So the temp will probably read the coolant at its hottest point.

I'm so happy to see you're going with white lights. :)

How do you like the res?

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of multi colors, plus with the olive green color on the most heatsinks, no other color would look good I think.

As far as the res, it's only mounted so far, haven't had the chance to get it hooked up and tested but it's Solid piece. Extreme satisfied with the build quality. Mounting it is a pain... Holes you drill have to be precise

Time for some Bending

IMG_0696_zpsb6ccc032.jpg

 

Just have to wait now for my fittings to get here...

 

IMG_0715_zps1eb9c029.jpg

 

IMG_0692_zps19effae6.jpg

 

Polished my Supremacy Block... Since its all clear tubing and clear Res... only seemed logical :D Used Meguiar's PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner and Polish.

 

This is just using the polish without sanding.

Replaced the D5 Pump factory Top with XSPC Pump Top (I dont have a picture of it, but you can kind of see it here)

All I can say is Yes.

I'm assuming you have a window'd side panel. Will the reservoir be hard on the eyes since it's right there in view?

I gotta admit I was not extremely enthusiastic about EK's CSQ design when it

came onto the market (I didn't hate it, but was rather indifferent), but polished

CSQ blocks in plexi look absolutely gorgeous IMO. :wub:

yup it's windowed.. and I know what you mean about the res being in your face but honestly it looks great...It's just the way I have taken the pics of it with the camera so close makes it looks out of place lol I dont want to take a picture of the whole thing yet until I get my tubing in. The main reason I wanted it there (besides the room issue) is because the acrylic bar in the middle of the res lights up so it looks bad ass at night with that and the CPU block lit up

I agree. I honestly could get it a little clearer than that (I might keep working on it) but yeah it looks 100% better. My GPU blocks are pre-CSQ design too.. So it only made sense to get rid of the haze haha (I dont mind the circles but the haze was kinda lame)

I'm actually astonished that the Shinobi's name hasn't been used more

for this name, it's like they made it for this.

Hahaha It's pretty awesome

Thanks man :) Few changes are coming. I actually ended up putting all my fans on the fan controller but leaving both banks in there as they will be used for more lights and other things that need power

Did the acrylic tubing discolor or get hazy during the bending ? I was planning to do most of the bends with fittings, but i must say this this tubing is absolutely beautiful, like it even more than the tubing the guy from singularity computers on youtube produces and i like those a lot. Probably also quite a bit cheaper than buying a shitload of fittings.

Really nice built !

Thank you! That's an awesome compliment. The tubing didn't haze or discolor at all (thankfully) I used EK-HD Tubes... maybe other kinds do.. I'm not sure... but these didn't. The acrylic fittings cost just as much as the compression fittings... but in my opinion, acrylic is the way to go. I went with primochill  tubing (the rubber kind not acrylic) and within 2 months it discolored...I had no dyes or anything... just distilled water.

Bank 1 (left) is fan power (that are not hooked up to the fan controller. Just straight raw 12v power)
Bank 2 (right) Light LED power
 
9861724003_4b9b602d7b_b.jpg
 
Light switch Toggle... I really didn't want to drill a hole in my front/top bezel for the switch..so it fit PERFECT in the rear pre drilled watercooling holes..and I wasn't going to use them for anything else.... :D
 
9861642076_6e7f487de1_b.jpg
 
Painted the 5.25" bay covers and fan controller plate PLASTI-DIP Black... just to give it a little bit of an accent, not to mention Plasti-dip is a rubber coating I was hoping it would feel the same as the bitfenix soft touch.. it doesnt LOL but the main idea I used it is because its peel able  :) Plus I thought It looked weird with bitfenix soft touch grayish and a brushed black fan controller... this way it all matches 
 
9861629924_ecea8d7e55_b.jpg
 
Back side of the case... if you noticed I cheated with the 24-pin... Didn't actually sleeve it myself :S and my GPU and CPU Power are only half sleeved lol didnt have enough material... (flame suit on) 
 
Thanks for having a look  :) Any comments welcome! Thanks in advance!
