Hey everyone. Finally got around to upgrading my sig rig. Wanted to spend some time (and money!) and do something special. Was thinking about copper tubes until I found out Primochill was finally going to release their color acrylic tubes. Color themes were between the yellow/black (ASRock OC Forumula) or a red/black (ASUS ROG). Set up some polls around the forums and it seems most people don't like the yellow/black combination.
As you will note, the GPU will not be a part of the water loop. I'm planning on switching out my 690 for a couple of 780s when BF4 comes out - earlier if I can get a deal on a good custom pcb 780 (lightnings, DirectCU II, etc).
I have pics and notes from my tube bending that I will post up later. I hope to get this up and running by the end of the week!
Noteable components:
Main Components
• Processor: Delidded Intel Core i7 4770K Haswell (o/c to 5.0 *crosses fingers)

• Video: EVGA GTX 690 (will replace when BF4 is release)
• PSU: Corsair AX1200i
• Primary Drive: Plextor M5P 128GB x 2 in RAID0
• Storage Drive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
• Case: Corsair 600T White + Acrylic Side Panel (CyberDruid Custom)
Custom Water Loop

• PrimoChill Rigid Ghost Compression Fittings - Black
Enjoy!
Final Pics - Was thinking about a couple of 780s but came across a really good deal for 770s so I'll hold off on 780s until maybe later. I added a cathode light behind the res to give it a nice red aura. Not many pics with the acrylic panel...I get too much refection with the panel on.
My GTX 770s didn't last very long
780s + some lights and backplates.
