Almost all my parts have arrived now. Still waiting on the R4. It is in Canada at least and should be here in the next 3-4 business days. My rads are waiting patiently for me at the post office, I'll pick them up before I head home today. I started sleeving the cables on my HCP-1000 last night. I bought a crimping tool and pins so I can make the cables custom length where needed. I also picked up a few hundred meters of 16 and 18 gauge stranded copper air free wire for the same purpose. The Cougar 140mm HDB fans were waiting for me when I got home from work yesterday. They are amazingly quiet. I just hope they have enough static pressure.
I ran a sim with MML's flow rate simulator and it looks like my pump should handle the build. It is nice that the XSPC blocks are fairly free flowing.
Quick parts list:
I'll post some pics when I get home from work.
Haven't had 5 minutes to do anything in the past couple days. Should have a few free mins after work today before I start tearing the system down.
Finished breaking down my old cube case (The Judge) and mocked up my new loop. I don't have the case yet so I'm just playing with the positions.

I've made a couple design changes. I'm no longer going to use white on the motherboard tray. I've purchased some "acid green" acrylic sheet and I'll be cutting it to fit behind the motherboard. It will be backlit with white LEDs to give a green glow from behind the board.
