Ah yes, in the attempt to reduce photo size, it's turned a quite tasty pic into pixel mess. Spent ages on the plumbing, Probably 50% failure rate with the bends. The runs are very geometric so I was very picky with the end results. I've still go the most complicated runs left to do. The three Titans have full Heatkiller waterblocks ( when I was planning this build, XSPC said "we have no plans for a TitanXp waterblock" so I went with Heatkillers. I've run them all with flexible tubing and they work great so very happy that way. Two x XSPC cylinder res/pump combo built on a custom bracket (took some head scratching) that slots in-and-out easily, with extra mounting plate as they weigh 2kg filled. Figure-of-eight circuit with two x 4x120 and one 2x120 push-pull rads , as fat as possible. Mainly Alphacool rads, lines and fittings. EGVA SuperNOVA T3 1500 (from memory - I'll update when I disassemble everything for painting) All in a fantastically huge Obsidian 900D case. mounted on wheels

Ok, I found some photos on my phone to keep you happy. I had to build a custom reservoir mount with two cyl/pump units back-to-back, and then mount that to the chassis. It's heavy, 2kg with water. Plus I wanted an easy way of taking the pumps out, so I came up with this.

Yup bcav, it is a big motivator to sort out the tubing. Cracked it this weekend tho  Still got a new install to set up before even start folding. Got one of these ... PCE-AC68 antennae so I can use the pc as a room heater anywhere in the house

Got there in the end. Had to change the spindles on the res bracket for M5 with nyloc. Just wasn't solid enough just resting in the slots. Fortunately I just happened to have some looong allen keys.

Blacked out is always a solid choice.
