Thanks Rmorse! I'm not happy with the alignment of one of the tubes for the cpu block, i'll probably buy an offset fitting to get it perfect when I have to tear it down for maintenance. I do have to say I prefer ridgid tubing with the cloud white ek cryofuel liquid.

Austin, I know the O11D is a meme now but I have built in about 20 different cases in my life and I must say the O11D is the most nice and easiest case to build in, In my opinion and experience. I chose this case because of the distro plate and the ease of ridgid tubing installation. If you notice I used mostly fittings to keep the runs straight vs me failing a bunch of time doing bends. But the one bend I did had 3 in it and they came out perfect first try. (I got lucky)

Very Nice Build  . I bought a Razer 011D and was going to do the same build in the black case but being stuck with my GTX 1080 Classified it was too wide for the case. Guess that's why they made the XL case. (oops) Had to laugh only case and or GPU i ever had an issue with Width clearance. Glad to see it worked out so well. I really wished EK would of staggered the holes on the Monoblock. Awesome motherboard bundle. I really enjoyed the PSI tester taking the stress out of the build. You should post it to Modrigs

Thanks Tatt, This is the XL version so the card juuuuust fit. I have less than a 1/4 inch of clearance. Is your O11 the regular size or XL?

I also can't see any of the pictures. I suggest using imgur for this purpose.

Ohhh yeah, that's really nice. A lot of work, but worth it. I really like the distro plates, make things a bit easier. Thanks for posting. +1 for your Mods Rig.

Great job!!! Looks pretty good for your 1st time with hardtubes. It took me a while to get my bends right without the benders. I love the challenge of it other than wasting a lot of material. lol
