Perfect, thanks for the info, going to be doing almost the exact same setup (Same top rad, diff right rad, but same thickness).  I've also got Bitspower's full motherboard block for the X99 classy, and just for giggles EK's liquid shims and blocks for the ram as well.  Going for a nickle, black chrome / black style finish, just praying it works inside the DG-87, this was originally for a custom chassis.

I am wondering how the noise level is when you're at full load? My current 115i corsair aio boosts the pump and fan..starts screaming after a few minutes of gameplay. Using a broadwell-e 6900k OC to 4.4, I keep it on balanced power...
 
I don't think I can get a better OC on this cpu, but I do want to reduce the amount of noise when gaming. I would also be adding two 1080ti's to the loop once they come out. I'd probably do a 420x45 on right and 280x30 or 360x30 on top to keep away from the mounting issues. x99 monoblock and PWM D5 pump as well. 
 
Sorry I can't provide exact dB levels when its at full load, but what noise levels are you experiencing with your current build at full? I would hope it's moderate and not annoying..

Wow, that turned out quite beautiful!! I like the green on the board. What do you think of the Corsair maglev fans, are they worth the cost?? Very nice, thanks for showing it off.

Impressive build... very inspiring to see someone else using the same components! Although that cooling loop setup... wow. Just wow! 
 
I've got the same case, 2x EVGA 1080 FTW's, and mobo. Still waiting on a few parts before starting the build, including ordering ModFlex cables. I've a couple of questions though...
 
I've seen a few reviews of the DG87 case, where the biggest complaint seems to be cable management, primarily the PS cable length & I/O. Though you seemed to have mastered the cable management quite beautifully. Did you order the default length ModFlex cables, or custom lengths? Did you encounter any cabling issues of note? 
 
Secondly, I'm admittedly a newbie at building my own rig, but I am a little confused about the 2-way EVGA HB bridge, even after looking at the EVGA chart images on the other forums etc... which 2 way bridge did you install? 
 
Cheers!

Coppocks, in his parts list 1080's [EVGA SLi Pro HB 2-slot bridge]. Not the V2 bridge ,but the HB [high bandwidth]
 
http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=100-2W-0027-LR  Read the info about them below, if you don't know about them. Hope that helps you out.

Notfordman... thank you! I looked at his parts list on more than one occasion and it somehow escaped me! But I now understand the EVGA HB bridge spacing completely and have one on the way. Sometimes it's the simple things!

So this happened...

 
Soon as I get this stuff installed, I will post with thermals, noise levels (I will compare it to a known volume, I don't have a dB meter), and will comment on the cabling :)

Cool GTX
Pascals like to be kept cool; you should see performance increase underwater

Nice! I'm projecting to do almost the exact same build. With a front push/pull on the Nemesis 420GTX, do you think it could fit? 
 
And could you do some closer picture of your loop, to let us see how every thing is interconnected? It'would help me a lot in my buying.
 
Thx :)

All done!

I will follow up on results of benchmarks and overclocking tomorrow!
