Given that this is a Define R4. I expected better cable and tubing runs. No reason to look like such a mess in there

Wasn't to concerned about cable management nor tubing runs as this was not the case I wanted to run and try and install into. I ran into issues with tubing so had to change from barbs to compressions and also had issues with the pump. If i was to go about doing it properly then I would have brought my own pump and reservoir than a kit.  Also given that it is an r4 your restricted with the amount of room you have to work with. Some people may like or some may hate that's your view. Also I kept switching various parts around to see what works best.

Yeah looked on overclockers uk at the part will have to look for few parts fittings to change, but when speaking to xspc they go it looks like the waterblock needs to be rma for it to be repaired

looks so much better now I'd put your drives in their cages the other way to tidy up your cables though

Yeah i will do thanks, thinking may move it towards the rad if there is enough gap, was late last night decided to finish it off as got a family business to run but its slowly getting there. I like the fractal case but just wasn't enough room but will be testing with various things, cable management is easier still need to tidy it up which will be tonight. Other than leaked few times still works, got a ton of spares to use if it does go wrong but I can see myself only sticking with sandybridge for cpu as its better for overclock

Looks great now anyway it'll just look that little bit better if you took the hard drives out and put them in so the cables are facing the back, really nice build though :)
