I just added an EVGA 980 SC with an EK waterblock and back plate so I also changed out the reservoirs as the Primochill one wasn't doing it for me. With that, I also switched out the radiator to a HW labs Nemesis 420GTS and some new fans. Anyway, on to the pics! The 980   Bitspower Z-tank with mod top and D5 vario

+1 Nice Ruby Red Rig you have.
Pull that Sound Card OUT and install a 2nd GPU then this would be the Bomb Ruby Red Rig.

You'll pry my sound card out of my cold dead fingers! lol Actually, I'm not a fan of SLI setups in general so I stick to single card setups. Thanks for +1

Yea, I kind of thought that it would take cold dead fingers but I had to add a laugh in for the day.

I forgot, I do have one more pic with the bottom led strip lit before I closed it up and forgot to reconnect the strip. Anyway, last pic.

How does the Water Flow or what is the Direction of the Water Flow?
I haven't taken any more pics...but I'll get that one for you tonight hopefully. As far as the water direction, it's going from the pump, that sits at the bottom of the reservoir, to the gpu, gpu to rad, rad to cpu, cpu to reservoir. I tried messing around with different flow directions, but got frustrated with the tubing so went this way instead.

So speaking of frustration with tubing I have a question I'm sure some of you can answer. Keep in mind, I was never good at math of any sort and it's been years since I had to do any at all. That's a nice way of saying I'm an idiot when it comes to mathematics. Anyway, you can see in the photos that the top tubing looks askew. I'm sure there's some formula I need to apply here to make that look straight and level, but it frustrates me as right now the tubing length is correct but as you can see it appears as if the horizontal length is too long and the left side vertically from the cpu going up and over to the reservoir is longer than the other side, making this look uneven. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It just looks like you need to cut the end that goes in the CPU a little bit. I think that would fix it. Or can you move the res. up in it's bracket to compensate?

If I move the Res it affects the tubing on the bottom from the res to the gpu. And yeah, I could cut cut the tubing a bit, but I did that already and it still didn't even out which is why I was wondering if there was a formula or calculations I could to to avoid this problem to begin with. It's just frustrating and there are work-arounds, but I'd dearly love to learn how to do it right the first time. :)

Okay, I got pics with the bottom door open. The first one's not good as my cat decided to "help" while I was taking pics.  Here's a better one

She is a beauty, wish mine looked half that good. Seriously. The hard line just put's the old school to shame as far as looks. I guess that's my next thing to try..... lol

Thanks, and yeah the hard line tubing is just beautiful especially with such a variety of colors to choose from. If you do that next, just have some patience it can be frustrating to work with at first...oh and make sure you get extra tubing because some of the pieces you work with just won't come out the right way when you first start off.
