The hydro dipping looks pretty cool, although I'm not to sure of the carbon fiber vinyl on the motherboard tray. Looking forward to the finished product.

still down to blocks for the video cards and I also have to wire in the fans to the bus bar for the top radiator. After that, it's just wiring in the LED for the CPU water block and installing the CPU water block. Oh the fun times with the rigid tubing too.

Blocks on. Some pipping done but I ran out of the UV glue .... Also I'm going to see if can get a custom vinyl for the top GPU back plate. I do realize I'm not running a Krait mobo anymore but the original krait died because the GPUs bent the PCIe's down ward lol and I started getting weird artifacting in SLI. I loved the Gaming pro carbon so I ran that board instead but just kept going with the krait theme. Also an added benefit was the mobo carbon matches the case wrap nicely and seems to accent each other, which was totally accidental and not planned.

All the tubes are bent and in... I also made sure all my monsoon fittings were using the upgraded poly carbonate lock rings, I guess the acrylic ones were cracking and leaking on users. I also finished the wiring. Update** 24 hour leak check spotted a small drip from the #2 pump housing. I was unable to get it to stop by trying to tighten it a little so I had to drain the system and remove the pump. I checked the oring and mating surface, both of which looked good. Took me 2 trys at reseating the housing but on the second try it stopped and hasn't dripped yet. If it continues to drip, then I am going to contact monsoon about getting a new o-ring. Also I wanted to mention that I did plan on running a dual loop setup but ran out of room for the other res and decided to make a single, that is the only reason I have two pumps in this setup. I dialed them down to speed setting one because anything higher than 2 makes my res looking like a washing machine.

Testing things while I leak check and run air out of the system. So far the leak has not come back after quite a few hours of pump operation.

ok update. My leak came back :( and I emailed monsoon. He was very nice and sent me new orings and a pump head. Thank god he sent me a pump head because the one I had was defective. Upon disassembly, I found that the pump head had small circle defects from casting and that was causing the oring not to seat. I have pictures but photobucket is down for maintenance so I can't post them right now. I am in the process right now of switching the head over and then reassembly. Also for whatever reason my LEDS in the CPU block stopped working so I am going to remove them and try to replace them.

Ok thats the defective pump top. You can see the little circle indents from casting, they sit right under where the oring seats. You can see the replacement top doesn't have these circles and is smooth.
