I have the fans completely disassembled and ready for paint. I will try and get some pictures up tomorrow. Bear in mind if you follow this, my camera sucks and I am not a very good photographer.

OK, I made a little more progress. I got my power supply, a Corsair AX1200. I am hoping to not have the noise issues some experience. So far, in thesting, it sounds ok. I plan on re-doing ALL the cables to make them the proper length. I will need to remove the ends from the originals and rewire and sleeve since the geniuses at Corsair used proprietary connectors. Thats right, the 24 pin is split into two and the keying of the 8 Pin PCIe and power are non standard. Not a big deal, I guess. I would have preferred to leave the originals intact.
My plans are to flush panel mount the PCIe connectors directly below the video cards and use short, 3 to 4 inch, jumpers to make the connections. It should look really cool and be much cleaner. I must admit I borrowed the idea from someone elses build but can't find it again to give credit. I will update if I run across it again.
Here are the bracket(s) that will bolt underneath the sub-floor. They just need cleaned up a little and powder coated black to match the case. Now I need to cut the appropriate slots in the floor.
Enjoy,
John

Two more shots. It will actually mount like it sits, only underneath the plate. I have an idea how to eliminate the slot. That comes later. Again, sorry for the pic quality.
Enjoy,
John

A little more of some previous posts. I am still trying to figure out all the tube rounting and pump mounting. I spent about 4 hours in Autocad last evening trying to come up with a manifold or 2 to make the "flow" nicer. My plans are to come directly out of each pump and down into the bottom chamber. While the tubing is down there it will get an Aquaero flow meter and temp sensor. I am waiting on the flow meters to see size and how they mount. I also have to get tubing to the top front drive bay for the water block on the Aquaero 5. I am open for suggestions on routing and setup if anyone wants to chime in.
