Nice work i'll be sure to take a look at this in 15 years when I can do this myself!

So.. I managed to fill the loop yesterday and ran into some problems. I filled the loop and had it running for around 2 hours when i noticed liquid all over the motherboard. 
Straight away i turned the pumps off and had to take everything apart to clean the motherboard and dry it off. I drained the loop to do just that.

When everything was taken out of the desk i took apart the Asus maximus VI formula motherboard to dry it out and observe where the source of the leak had occurred. This is what i found..
 

 
As you can see in the image above, the motherboard water block looks as if the coolant has leaked through the seal, 
so i decided instead of returning the product for a new one, i might try tighten the seal and dry out the motherboard.
 

 
The picture above is of the motherboard with the back plate and thermal armor removed as well as all of the thermal blocks and the CPU. 
It was essential that all of the liquid was dried and removed so it was necessary to remove all of these components to prevent a short circuit when i powered the PC on. 
I wired up a fan to a small 12v power adapter and placed it over the CPU and RAM slots to dry out any liquid that found its way into the gaps. I also borrowed my sisters hair drier to speed up the drying process.
 

 
Above is testing the components to see if they all still work after letting everything dry for 8 hours or so. I had removed the CPU water block to let the CPU slot dry so when it came to testing whether the components worked or not i had to reinstall some thermal grease on my delidded CPU and on the thermal copper plate and use the stock air cooler. 

The PC powered up fine and everything worked. While i had the computer on i decided to check the CPU temperatures because i had delidded the CPU and put my own thermal grease on. 
Previous core temperatures ranged from 34-37 degrees Celsius, the new temperatures ranged from 18-21 degrees Celsius with the stock cooler, so i was very happy with them results.
 

 
The picture above is of the refill and previous leak area, so far so good. Another possible cause of the leakage around that area is where the fittings screw into the motherboard water block. 
I have since installed some extender fittings into the motherboard and then screwed the compression fittings into those. 
The reason for this is the compression fittings are a lot wider and i believe that the design of the motherboard water block was preventing them from screwing down all the way, therefore creating a leakage area. 
I have highlighted the problem areas below. These areas are sticking up preventing the compression fitting from screwing in all the way.
 

 
As of this moment i have put everything back into the desk and i am leak testing overnight, so far the problem areas have been fixed. I will be uploading more progress very shortly.

Holy cow! That's a really cool mod.
 
Need mawr pics. MAWR!

This is awesome !
 
Great build and great skill

Thank you to everyone for your support. More updates coming tomorrow or the day after.

Thank you =)

Cool !
 
But be carefull with bass volume. I bricked a disk while testing a pair of bookshelf speakers on the desk, near to an external HDD. (5 inch bass/medium)

haha yea dont worry, im in a house the bass wont be thumping like it would in a car =) that would be stupid. Thank you for the kind comment =D

Thank you =)

Very nice!  I'm assuming that is MDF you used in the construction?  And if so did it have a finished side to it or was there a lot of finishing work you had to do?

yea I had to do some finishing work =)

I'm thoroughly impressed, inspired and even more than a little jealous. Congrats, man!

After the major accident involving the leakage on the motherboard i finally got to refill the desk. The liquid coolant i am using is distilled water with some mayhems UV green dye. Please enjoy.

This is the distilled water i picked up from Big W. I had a fair amount of trouble trying to find distilled water because most places were either sold out or only had deionized/demineralised water.
 

 
When filling the loop i always had some cloth/towels near by incase of a possible spill/leak.
 

 
I used a funnel with a drink bottle to fill the loop. It made the process much faster and easier which saved a lot of time.
 

 

 
I made sure the pump always had water in it so that it would never run dry. By letting the pump run dry you can ruin it.
 

 

 
I started adding the Mayhems UV green dye to the distilled water one drop at a time until i achieved the look i was after.
 

 

 

 
The loop was filled so i had to start leak testing for 24 hours. Always make sure to put some cloth/towels/paper towel to prevent possible fluid leaks from getting onto components.
 

 

 

 

 
I always checked how the leak test was going every so often..
 

 
Here are a few images after the leak test

It is absolutely beautiful. 
 
The one thing I can't live without telling you is... put some sort of foam gasket where the glass mates with the inner lip of the table.  I would hate to hear that you were gaming all night, and knock over your drink and it spills into everything (or if you have a cat that jumps on it and knocks over any drinks you may forget).
 
It can't be more then $5.00 for that kind of piece of mind.  It really is a remarkable build.  I kind of want to do the same thing now.

Haha cheers, I dont drink or eat at this desk =)

I wouldn't either... BUT... a few dollars for a bit of foam has gone a long way with my over the years. 
Remarkable build you have there

Thanks mate appreciate it =)

Outstanding work

Thank you very much =)

Wow, I love the build...looks like a lot of fun!! Checked out your utube , liked and commented. And facebook is evil! lol
Very nice job, I want!
 
Did you do the sleeving?
