I dont get how the Y utilize..where does the other end go to? does it serve like a T in which water can be filled?

I hope my current project turns out half this nice. Very good looking build.

Re. the Wye fitting. That appears to be a good place to drain the loop down for cleaning, etc.

Just the opposite, it's used as a drain. Because the Res isn't the lowest part of the loop, I realized that draining the loop would be a pita, so I put that Y with THIS at the other end of that tube. It drains fairly easily now...

You have a push/pull on the top rad, how do you have room for the MB? BTW, very sexy pics and I like the your FightingFish a lot. Sometimes I wish that I had never put the false floor in my Rocketfish.

I measured before I cut the top. The rad is actually not centered on the top panel, but offset away from the mobo side of the case about 2-3mm. It's just enough to have about 2mm clearance with the mobo and still be able to connect the 8-pin connector and clear the v-reg heatsink.
I played with the idea of doing a false floor for a while, but eventually decided against it, especially since the bottom rad is one of the main exhaust points for the case (I know that's a big no-no, but the 38C load temps on my videocard tell me it's all good

Just a few more pics...
Let it shine!

All done...

Very nice job man. Thanks for sharing. I'm assuming your going to get those fan guards matching soon?

Aside from that, once again, excellent job.

Yea, those lol I had bought 2 more black ones and I lost them!

I also have a one piece AC Ryan grill, but I dunno that I like it, and the mounting holes aren't lining up right anyway. Either way, a fix is coming...

 

[javier]

Does anyone have any thoughts on what I could wrap the pci-e power cables in to keep them looking cleaner??

You should be able to get cable sleeving supplies from most of the etailers that sell wc gear

i love the fact you put a fillport at bottom of case for easy draining of the loop, if thats what its for that is!

I was thinking about something that would incorporate both cables...
