Hi, being new to the group, I would like to show my latest build to you. Starting with a Corsair 400c case I filled it with an Asus Maximus VIII Formula motherboard, Intel 6700K cpu, 32 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200 Ram, 2 x RX 480 8GB graphics cards, Samsung M.2 950 256 GB with Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit OS mounted under the motherboard thermal armor, 2 x 2.5" Seagate 1TB SSHD's for storage all powered by an Evga 850 Watt Supernova psu. The cpu is cooled by an EKWB EK-XRES 140 fitted with a 250mm carbon fibre vynil wrapped reservoir, 360mm radiator with a XSPC Raystorm waterblock and piped out completely using a loop comprised completely of Barrow watercooling fittings, no tubing whatsoever was used giving it a somewhat different style of look. Topping of the cooling are 6 Akasa Apache 120mm fans all running together through a Phantek 8 fan hub. The case modifications included a custom carbon fibre vynil wrapped backplate mount for the res/pump which was designed around covering over as much of the wiring as possible and the psu cover being cut in around the pump to give a clean finished look. I look forward to any comments or questions anyone may have. Thanks.

The idea behind this build was less can be more. To conceal the wiring to make it look as clean as possible, the wrap work and the loop was done for a stealth look as you have picked, and the loop done completely from  individual Barrow fittings was because I could not find anything like it on the web. To me less can mean more and I was looking to take my build to a different style of customizing, it not what you see that counts, it's what the total package adds up to. Thank you so much for the comments I appreciate your feedback very much. And to all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and may the future be better for everyone.
