Tubing and coolant might come in handy

excuse all the wires and the HDD and SSD being on the PSU.  Waiting to make everything pretty when I get the watercooling parts.  Also im putting the ssd and hdd behind the motherboard when i get some heavy duty velcro.

Don't use Mayhems Aurora coolant it is a show coolant and not meant for long term. The Mayhems Pastel is fine. If you get a different pump top you will have more options with both tubing and routing and wont need hose clamps (or get a pump res combo, EK and Bitspower both make tube res versions with D5 pumps). If you are using water you need at add either a biocide or a silver kill coil (I would recommend the later). Depending on your motherboard the rad clearance might be an issue on the 400r. Good luck.

Thanks for the input, I had thought about the pump res combo but decided on the standalone pump incase I want to change res's.  I thought about getting a top but i decided it could wait.

Just an FYI, the pumps come off the pump/res combos, they are 'screwed' on and can be reused in a different res if you want to switch (actually any D5 pump can do this, they come apart and can be installed in various pump tops and res').
