Also what do you plan on doing exactly to mask out the yellow, I originally wanted to do a black and grey themed build. With a gtx 770 with the titan shroud. But i couldnt find any decent motherboards that were black and grey. 

Just put some of this on the yellow heatsinks http://www.topvinylfilms.com/products/3M_DI_NOC_Matte_Carbon_Fiber_Wrap_Vinyl-4-79.html It doesn't void the warranty and is nice looking.

Would swiftech cover the h220 under their warranty if i sent it to a friend in sweden then he sent it to me?

Yea you send it directly if anything is ever wrong. He would probably have to file the RMA but yes it would

Well to be fair, the R4 is an amazing case for a mere $80. The price on that thing has been dropping constantly, especially for the windowed version. However the expandability on the R4 is a little to be desired for as you would require quite a bit of modding to mount radiators and such. Even then the options are limited.

Yea, I have to agree with JujuShinobi on this.  You're limited to the rads you can put on the R4, but it's enough for a decent loop.  You can fit at least 2 slim 240s.

Well, he lives in 'Murica, so he cant get the H220.

You can order it on Canada's NCIX.  Pretty sure shipping isn't too bad.

You can fit a slim rad up top, but you can get a pretty thick rad in the front. Just remove the hdd cages.

Change of plans i will be buying a h220 from ncix.ca! I never knew i could do that, and after this post i'm going to let this thread die off into forums then bring it back to life when i build the pc.

If your going with the h220, please shorten the tubes on it. They make them so long for no reason and it looks really bad when the tubes are just jumbled together.

How hard would it be to shorten them?

 

Drain the loop, cut them up and refill it... I can't say I'm a fan of the H220 myself and I don't really like the look of the block/pump and the tubes coming out from both sides, but it would definitely look way better if you cut the tubes down to size and use the fittings to try to get the cleanest, shortest loop possible, something you can't really do with other AIO liquid coolers.
