So I have pretty much purchased everything I need to put together my first custom hard line loop (just waiting on EVGA to release their 980 Ti Hydro Copper).

 

I was a bit bored today so fired up Gimp and proved to myself that I shouldn't ever consider a career in graphic design! I have been trying to visualize the path the piping will take and whilst scribbles on paper are all well and good I wanted something a bit closer to reality so I grabbed some stock images off the interwebs and threw this together.

I personally quite like the routing (I do have both a U config and an X config radiator so the layout is possible) but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or examples of something else that might look really nice.

 

P.S. Don't worry about the floating pump/res - I'll be creating a custom bracket to attach it to the case once I know my exact positioning of everything.

I already have the rads and it is definitely crossflow. Thanks for the comment though.
