Hey guys,
This is my first Watercooling Build ever! and it was a blast indeed!
Its nothing special in comparison to others on here O.O, but I think it's alright for a first build, and for my first post
The pictures covering the entire process from beginning to end can be found in the dropbox folder below, I did a little mod by removing the HDD bay at the bottom and cutting through the bottom of the case for a 240 rad (thanks to Skullcrusher's video tutorial at WestCoastMods):

Please let me know what you guys think, and if there are any suggestions
I am thinking of adding coils to the tubing
maybe red? Please let me know your thoughts!
P.S. You will notice the non-transparent acetal CPU block being used then the plexi copper being used. That was due to the acetal one having a manufacturing fault in the left thread for the fitting which led to a leak during a leak test. DazMode was nice enough to take a look at it and replaced it with the plexi
!
Cheers!
