Decided my case is a little on the small side for what I want to do so I ordered a new case. A DangerDen Tower 29 to be exact.
 
Pictured below-
EK Supreme HF Nickel Plexi Red
EK Full Board Nickel/Acetal
EK 470 Back Plate
2x EK GTX470 Nickel/Acetal
EK Dual Top Pump
Black Ice GTX 360 and 480 radiators
BP SLI Tubes/Fittings
FrozenQ 250ml Red UV reservoir
PrimoChill Red UV Tubing (I may change it out for clear and go dyed water. Tubing is more orange than red)

 
Things coming in the mail-
DangerDen Tower 29 (Black) Wanted red but out of stock.
BP Barb and 45degree angle fittings
Primochill Dye Bomb UV Red ( I know the hazards. If you flush the system regularly with hot water every 3 Months I don't see why you would have any problems. I read adding it may help with the color of the hose.)
4 Port Lamptron CCFL Inverter (2 UV Cold Cathodes)
24" Sleeved Extensions from Martin (Should have pics tomorrow)
 
What I'll be reusing-
2x 655 Pumps
CoolerMaster Excalibur Fans (Push Only)
All other PC components, CPU, MB, RAM, Etc....
 
Anybody with experience with UV Red tubing that can tell me if I should use it or not? Really hesitant and trying to decide if I should try the combination of the Red UV Tubing and UV Dye or just sell it and get Clear Tubing.

    Looks like it'll be great..just to let you know...I bought 2 of the FrozenQ reservoirs..BOTH leaked..i now have an EK..couldnt have loved the look of the FrozenQ more, but I took a chance and bought a second one, hoping the leak on the first was a fluke..burned again. Specifically the leak came out of the "seal" between the inner tube for the u.v. bulb and the main body of the res. on BOTH of them!! I tried epoxy, super glue..no luck..eventually I'll scrape off all the old and try again (no time) Just wanted you to know, maybe run a bead of epoxy around the joint and let it set up for several days? Good luck!

    If it leaks I'll try to reseal it. I have a smaller BP Res I can use if it does so no big deal. Going to plug it up and fill it real quick to see how it is. Fingers crossed, hope it doesn't. Res is amazing looking, had it hooked up briefly dry, can only imagine what it looks like with fluid inside.
     
    Edit- Got water in it, going to leave it there sitting upright to see if it seeps through or not, so far so good though.

    Just got the pics in of my cables from Martin.
    24" 24 Pin ATX
    24" 8 Pin EPS x2
    24" 8 Pin PCI-E x2
    24" 6 Pin PCI-E x4

    I got the 8 Pin PCI-E Cables in case I ever get a couple GPU's that use them. Currently I only have a pair of 470's and they of course don't use them. Well they do but as extensions I would have the other two cables making cable management harder.

    Very nice. Looks like it's gonna be totally awesome. I too have been reconsidering my Cosmos S, for a few reasons.. I have the 4 way board, and a 480 Rad, the case I have my eye on though is the TJ11, which is just a beautiful case.

    I love my Cosmos S. Just not big enough for the cooling that I want. Not sure if I am going to sell the case or save it for a future build.
     
    The BP Blocks I have now along with extensions in my current rig I will be selling in the future. So if anybody is interested in them send me a PM.

    Update
    Got my case, well, a case. Not sure if I should be happy or upset. This is what I ordered, but I got the Double Wide instead. So now I have room for 2 more Radiators....
    Should I get them? I would only need to buy one more fan. Will two MCP 655 Pumps be enough to go through 4 Radiators and the blocks I have?
    I have no intentions of mailing it back, it costs 100$ more than what I payed for it.
    So two more Rads? Maybe a couple more pumps? Going to ask this in the Overclocking section, see what they say.

    Ran into a snag, missing screws, or so it seems. I don't have screws short enough. would be simple if I had a grinder, but I don't so I need to find some screws short enough somewhere. Emailing DD to see what they say.

     
    Pic of how far I got.

    Very nice rig you are building!  I've often cut screws down to size (if they are large enough threads) with a hacksaw and then polished off the sharp edges lightly with a small file.  But, you do need a grinder in every shop...that is a must-have tool!

    Just ordered a second 480 Radiator and another Pump. Get some nice overclocks on everything. Wish my 930 didn't need 1.4375v for 4.2GHz OC.

    Had to order some screws for radiator and fans, and ordered two 3mm Red LED's that will attach to where the Blinking Red E attached to.
    Also some more Barb Fittings and Plugs, didn't like the Shiny silver plugs that came with my EK blocks. Went with some Black BP Plugs with there logo on top. Should look real nice when I'm done.
    Here is a pic of Reservoir placement, nothing fancy. Just planning the layout of tubing and fans in my head. Getting screws long enough so I can put the fans between the Case and Radiators, otherwise the fans would be pulling air in or blowing it out the front of the case.

    Nice and roomy.  Those matte black BP fittings are nice.  I've used them quite a bit and I love the look.  Just be careful because they scratch easy and the brass (or whatever) will show.  This thing is going to look very nice indeed.
