Started this after seeing Toms vid on water cooling the 600t case. This is my first water cooling effort outside the H70 closed loop and first time at modding / cutting
Current Specs
i 7 920 OC to 4.2
12 GB Corsair 1600 Ram
850 XFX PSU
370 Water block
alphacool nexXxos ST30 360 rad
DCC Pump
This is still in progress And will be adding
200 Rad for front
2 water cooled 6950 OC to 6970
white extension cables
Not sure if to add a bay res ??
i am currently looking for a second top for the 600T case as my currently sits under the mesh , but for summer i want to cut a rectangle around the rad and place 3 more fans so they are slightly raised above mesh for push and pull con fig.
Any thoughts or suggestions welcome don't flame me to much guys as first time as this is no where near the excellent standard of water cooling rigs posted but thought i would share where i am at ?
Update****
i have attached some new pics of the 360 rad and have sprayed/trimmed the bluray drive Bay drive so it does not look visable anymore and tidyed away the cables and attached a white fan at rear i have also attached what the 2nd part of the loop will look like as the parts should arrive on monday. last stage will be to add white cables and white led strips
Let me know your thoughts with the future state of the water loop
cheers

Update 2 ****
I have put the 2nd stage in but ran into two problems the first i opted against a vid connector , this meant i have had to lower my gpu by one slot wich means the 2nd card will be sittinh in x8 not x16 also means its touching my PSU . So i have order a vid connector so i can raise it back up to my original design. 2nd problem i have encountered is the Kurled 45 degree fittings from pump to big rad the cables just dont sit right which means i have had to temp put the res at an angle have re-order 2 x 45 rotary fittings due to the space means mu res is currently at angle and no in its position.
On a positive my temps are excellent my CPU in below 39 idle and when primed its sub 70 (I7 920 OC 4.2) the gpus 1st idles at 30 2nd is at 25 they dont go past 40 when furmarked so in all this loop works great just needs the last few fitting tweaks and then onto the cables and lighting.
Update 3***
I Have installed the Vid Connector and raised the 2nd GPU, the 45 fitting at pump i have also tweaked some of the tubes as you can see from the Pics. Not to sure about the vid connector yet as i was having a tiny leak and temps seem 1 -2 degree higher so might go back to the tube and fittings ?
I am going to cut some back plates for the GPU's and spray them white
White braid for the GPU and Power supply
And last wil be the lighting
In all happy with my first water build so far
