yah, its temporary, I have qd's on all 10 blocks so that I can quickly check differances in running any config of parallel/seriel put rads or pumps anywhere in the loop. I have found it doesnt seem to matter much where the rads are. this is also that way so I can rip it all apart in less than 5 min for measuring and whatnot when I change my mind on how my manifolds will be placed in the custom case. I will have the manifolds designed so that only the bottom plates of the manifolds will have to be changed when I get the sr-x.
 
and this is big ass tubing I got for 40' for 20 dollars at home depot, lol but it is decieving in the pic, my other sli config which isnt in the loop atm has the quad ek parallel bridge on it and it fits fine if i dont use qd's on the chipset.

my definition of hard line is meaning no tubing at all, only fittings, hard copper pipe and manifolds.

all copper pipe scares me when it comes to any kind of switching out components.

the way that I designed the new tops for the dd bases allows any fitting to be used. I spead them apart when I designed it.

I think if i remember corectly i have almost an inch and a quarter center to center on them.
 
your list looks good though.

I wish lol. It's 10 feet for 22 bucks :( I actually have the wrong one listed. It's supposed to be 1/2" ID 3/4" OD.

wait a sec, so you think that nateman's blocks will work without the 45 degree elbows?  If so, that's awesome news.

absolutly. i designed and coded the cpu top and nate made it. I made sure that ANY g 1/4 fitting will fit here is a pic with the xspc 1/2 id 3/4 od

the bitspower will work too. I made sure of it.

Well considering Nate has already been promised to have a free SrX motherboard sent to him just so he can make them. Also with all the blocks that went out for just the sr2 it can be basically assured that Nate will make at least 3 of them which are already promised to be bought then watch for orders beyond. :)

* drooling* nate gonna pm u with a question on this subject

You guys rock!  Good news because the elbows are ugly. 
The danger den's satin copper is going to look great with this setup.... speaking of which... guess what got here today... I'll give you 2 hints:

Just a quick taste of what the improvements to the machine allow:

wow ... very good job ND ... sorry it's been awhile since i browsed this area ... still looking very very good though

No worries, you are forgiven.

Nice designs.  I think the bottom one looks better IMHO, but you're right you have to try it on copper to see.

nateman_doo

what designs?  Whats not copper?

Think he was talking about your SR-2 Logo http://forums.evga.com/fb.ashx?m=1404311
