I will follow up with some pictures from the test setup with almost all hardware mounted later. As you could see on the picture there is now air cooling that will be replaced with water blocks later. Just now, I'm in the process to see that all fits and runing in the case. 
The hard part is ahead, bending all the tubes for the loop.
And there are parts missing or will be replaced in the future.
 
All photos (in full scale) and screenshots will be here.

    Let the tour begin at the back.
    Here is a little mess now
    I will need some PWM fan cable extenders so I can place the PWM hub to the back.
    Sata cables will be replaced by sleeved cables from CableMods and the Corsair logo will be removed from the drive bracket. It was something I had over and they where black. Take out the spray can and paint.
    I'm also thinking of two more 750 SSD in the empty holder so that the raid will be 2GB instead of 1GB.

    So here is the back.


    The tour inside/outside the case will be continued.

    Over to the right side.
    Here is one of the two radiators with three fans and  pushing the air in.
    Hope the water is little cooler here.

     
    and left side.
    Here I had the fans switched with two of the EK Vardar fans. Changed the flow to push in air even here. This for I want to create a overpressure in the case.
     

     
    More to come....

    So, over to the top of the case.
    Here is the other radiator of the two and will be the first in the lopp after the GPU block.
    Fans will push inside air out and the six radiator fans will be connected to the PWM hub and controlled by one of the CPU PWM fan connector on the motherboard.
    I thought this case was big, but here I encounter problems since the area between case and plastic top is only about 25mm.
    Had to cut out so the radiator with fans could fit. Here I used the XSPC radiator stand with some modification to mount the package.
     

     
    The next follow up in the tour will be the inside of this great case.

    So here are some pictures of the inside.
    Right now this is a test setup of the hardware so all part are air cooled.
    Need to test all so I'm sure that everything is working before stripping and mounting water blocks.
    The loop/flow will go from pump in the bottom up to the GPU and then to top radiator. From there I will go to the CPU and to the front radiator and reservoir.
    So there will be some measuring, cutting and bending the PETG tubes.

    Here is some more updates but not regarding the buildíng.
    So, after all has been mounted I had to push the power button and everything starts on the first attempt.
    First thing to do was upgrading the BIOS without any problems.
    Configure all the settings I like to have as a baseline without any OC at this time to minimize problems.
    Setup all as UEFI and stripp off all legacy support and turn on secure boot.
    Configure the M2 and Intel SATA as Raid and then create the Raid before installing Windows 10 from USB stick.
    Selected the NVMe SSD as the drive for the installation and even here everything went on without any problems.
    Installation was made without networking so I don't get any updated drivers from Microsoft.
    Then was the installation of all drivers from Intel Chipset and forward, even used the Samsung NVMe driver instead of Microsoft standard. Upgrade even the Asmedia USB 3.0/3.1 with Asmedia owns Win 10 drivers.
    So now I just have to test the NVMe drive and wow it's fast but hot.

    Here I need to get some cooling solution for that, it hits >80C sometimes.
    I think this Alphacool HDX - M.2 SSD M01 will be a great choice, since there will be a GPU over the drive so I have no room for something else I think. And the best of all, it comes in black.
     
    Here is even a test for the SSD Raid and it perform as I expected.

     
    So, now I have to take out the parts that will have water blocks and then I could start bending pipes.

    Little update.
    Got some Akasa PWM Fan extensions, so I could tidy up my fan cables at the back.
    I order some aluminium SSD mounting kit also from Akasa. I got two if I order two more SSD to raid. So one is now housing two SSD and they drop 5 - 10C.
     
     
    Today I also did my first pipe bending. I get surprised how easy it was. It's only two 90 bends between right radiator and reservoir.
    I also got the Alphacool HDX cooler for the NVMe drive. It won't fit on both side so I had to use double sided adhesive pad instead to mount it on the top side. Works great and temp drops by 10C overall.

     
    So, the works continues.

    At last. All the pipes are bended and in place.
    So now there are blood pumping in the veins and cooling everything down (I hope).
    First leaking tests and no leaks found yet. It would be messy if almost 2L Mayhems X1 Blood red starts to leak out of the loop.
    So here is some pictures of the loop filled up with blood.

     

     

     

     

     
    So, time to run everything and then start to get a descent OC on CPU and GPU's.

    loving the rigid tubing....that is a lot of great work!!


    My first loop with that type of tubing. Was using the soft PETG tubes. Easier to bend and could use a pipe cuter to get nice and clean cut's.
    I think the result is great.
