I suppose I will get around to taking some pics in a few days.  It is just that, to me, soft-tubing is not showcase worthy.  It is definitely function over form, but my goodness, PETG tubing would REALLY set the thing off to where I would absolutely love showing it.
 
I wish I could work out a deal with a sponsor or three, then I would have a new rig popping in about once a month that was showcase worthy.  My current one would be perfect for a show; it is girl colors (and thank goodness I am a girl)--purple, pink and black.  If I put the UV pink PETG tubing in it, with the already UV purple lighting, you guys would freak out and start praying to me several times a day (just kidding . . . sort of).  Right now it just has UV purple soft-tubing, and it looks . . . kind of crappy to me. . .. *sighs*

Got the PM, and do all you can for the good guys!

I purposely ran my cooling loop in its most optimal route, doing stuff like making all the inlets of my four rads the lowest port of each of them and the outlets from the highest ports of them.  This gets all the air bubbles out of your system most efficiently.
 
I also have a dual-pump in one large loop (just under 3 liters of distilled, PT Nuked water) which provides for more water pressure and works as a fail-safe if/when one of the pumps decides to quit, allowing me to notice the slightly higher temps and know that something is wrong so I can shut everything down before something gets too hot and fries.  In this way, a dual-pump allows me to not have to deal with a fan controller with an alarm on it.  The BIOS controls my PWM fans well-enough (quite awesomely, actually) and have I two inline thermal sensors that keep temps for me in the BIOS as well, and they run about 21C on average.  I also have a flow meter vane with a pink LED behind it so I can always look over at it and see it spinning.
 
My loop runs like this:  Glass reservoir-to-dual-pump; dual-pump-to-240mm long, 60mm thick radiator; 240mm long, 60mm thick radiator-to-480mm long, 45mm thick radiator (inline thermal sensor here on outlet port to read water temp as it leaves both radiators before it goes to GPU's); 480mm long, 45mm thick radiator up into-2nd GPU; 2nd GPU-to-1st GPU; 1st GPU up into-480mm long, 60mm thick radiator; 480mm long, 60mm thick radiator-across and down into (the flow meter vane is here between radiators)-240mm long, 45mm thick radiator (the second inline temperature sensor is here in the inlet port.  I wanted it in the outlet port so as to read the temp just before it went into CPU monoblock, but it was not physically possible with how snug everything is in the bottom of the 900D case); 240mm long, 45mm thick radiator-across and up into the inlet port of the CPU monoblock (the center hole directly over the CPU) and then out of the outlet port of the CPU monoblock-reversed back across and into the inlet port of the one glass reservoir to start the loop over again.
 
"Function over form!"  The above large loop is the best it can be as far as getting optimal temps, and with all the soft-tubing going on (over 10 feet of it), it IS awesome . . . even if a bit unsightly.

Very nice!  So you have a dragster PC!
 
My rads only have 10-12 FPI, but I built mine to be quite as much as be able to handle a heavy load.  The lesser the FPI, the lesser the noise and the slower the fans can run.  That is why have so many rads: With lesser FPI and slower RPM'ed fans, the more spread out the heat dispensing has to be and so more rads are needed.
 
I have the cylinder XSPC 170mm glass reservoir with the LED tube vertically running through the center of it (and the light is pink!).  I thought about getting a bay reservoir--it would have been much easier than drilling holes in the inner MOBO wall inside the 900D case like I had to do, but the way bay res's are made, I wonder about the odds of them leaking after a period time.  Are yours well-made?
 
I am guessing your fan controllers have alarms on them that sound off if/when a pump shuts down, but I really like the redundancy of having a dual-pump on each loop in case my machine is running and I am not within 'hearing distance' of it.
 
NATEMAN_DOO must have great fun designing and forging blocks.  That would be so cool to be able to do that!  I wonder if a full-monoblock, one that covers CPU, MOBO, GPU's, RAM and add-in PCIe_NVMe storage cards, is feasible to forge and attach.  It would seem to be the best water-cooling option since water flow would then be virtually unrestricted.

Ut oh, you mean people actually vote on rigs?  Now I REALLY wish I had installed the rigid PETG tubing. . ..
 
Still, I am glad it sounds like it is worth seeing, regardless of the mass of flexible tubing that will have to be in any of the pics I take of the build.  I suppose I will get around to posting some pics of Shadow Wraith in a few days.  I just dread having to see pics without the rigid tubing in them like I had originally planned. . ..

For planning out a loop, I look first to cooling, I make sure I am overkill, so I can expand as needed.
From there I look at disaster recovery.  If _____ breaks, and I need to replace it, how horrid will it be to take this apart, and what can I do to mitigate that?  QD's are a big thing for me now, and also, for testing parts I always try to leave some flex available.
 
As for GSync,. oh yeah, it is a huge help.  Is it better to be faster, most definitely, but GSync is a huge pl;us for keeping everything smooth, as it syncs the refresh rate of the monitor to the frame rate so you don't get tearing or other such issues.  I saw a side by side demo  same video being played at 35-45FPS same speed, one monitor has GSync the other does not, and the same at higher speeds.  I knew the technology looked awesome on paper, but in practicality I was not sure, but once I saw the demo in person I was in awe and knew I wanted it.  So when a games FPS varies, you hardly notice it unless it is a huge difference in FPS, and even then you do NOT have the problem of portions of the screen rendered in the wrong place laterally.

30 FPS locked is also not bad either. It's pretty nice on GSYNC.
