I made a few changes from the original list because i wanted to order everything from one place for convenience. I already have the scyth fan controller panel and can easily connect all of the rad fans to one control knob.
***already made changes with that reservoir to the EK Waterblocks EK-Multioption RES 150 rev.2

You do not want the Panaflo Ultras. I know "Ultra High Speed" sounds enticing, but you will go deaf and Panaflos make a terrible sound when undervolted.

Buy the medium speeds.

The DDC res top is not needed if you are getting a D5.

I have an 104CFM Panaflo and it doesn't make noises when undervolted.

The fans on the rad are blowing toward the case which may or may not be a mistake. only problem is its blowing fierce winds into the power supply exhaust.
I thought i had ordered the correct size hose clamps, they were too small. I had a bag of zip ties and used those for temporary. i have more pics but basically this room is a disaster area after i installed this water cooling job. i posted the best two pics so far. this took me about 12 hours to finish or get this far. im probably going to order another fan controller panel along with proper size hose clamps. this is my first water cooling rig since 2005, a thermaltake bigwater.

on air in june.

after water cooled idle

stressed few minutes

i had a little leak on the reservoir because the clamp holder was squeezing where the clear plastic thread joined the black plastic thread at the bottom. it stopped when i moved the clamp lower only on the black plastic. my fans on the radiator were blowing wrong direction, towards my case and into my psu exhaust. i took the fans off and faced them blowing away from case. I now have the correct size hose clamps but i think the orange zip ties might hold permanent.

I plan on getting custom metal angle/swivel fittings so that my tubing doesnt kink. i used zip ties to hold the kinks out. i'll post temps after i get a fair oc sorted out.

TR3X6G1866C7GTF corsair mem kit was recalled and also one of my sticks went bad. RMA'd on 8/31/2009. corsair said they will send replacement kit CMG6GX3M3A1866C7 CORSAIR DOMINATOR-GT 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) totally free.
kudos to you corsair.

redid my loop so that my northbridge is cooled before cpu.
added elbow fittings in because tube kinked a bit.
both holding brackets on reservoir broke so now a twist tie holds it up steady over pump.

snipped a few bits from the fan honeycomb on back panel. a rubber ring which came with cm690 for the tubing was used to protect wires leading to radiator fans.
