sup OC3D,

worked on a my new rig over the past weekend,
pretty much finished now but gotta change some cable routes as i'm not 100% happy with that yet
it's also my first custom loop so it might not be the best you've ever seen but i think i did a pretty good job

specs:

i7 4770k (4.5GHz, 1.275v)
2x GTX 780
MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming
16GB Corsair Dominator GT 2133
Adata SP900 256GB SSD
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD
Corsair AX860i
900D

all cooled by two Alphacool 360s, 60mm thick and one 240, also 60mm thick.
XSPC Raystorm block for the CPU, XSPC Razor Titan blocks on the 780s. also got titan backplates on them as there are none for the 780s now. though titan backplates are better than none at all.
also got a phobya balancer 250 and a swiftech mcp 655 in there
running lots of Corsair SP120 QE's on 7v, coolant is from XSPC

picture of the finished rig (excuse the kinda bad quality)

thanks a lot everyone, really appreciating the kind words

it might just the be the pic, but the res looks dirty.

yeah kinda looks like it, but can't seen anything on the res right now

Dat looks soooo sexy :)

And I wouldn't mind seeing the pics you took whilst building.

uploaded them here: http://imgur.com/a/W9aTQ

not that many actually, and none with like the 900d only with rads. was kinda busy doing other stuff when fitting everything in the case

edit: two more pictures added to the OP

also, whole setup:

Really nice looking build.

I am still debating whether to buy one of these cases today or not.

for a custom loop its awesome.
if you just want to put something like the h100i or some air cooler in there it might be a bit overkill

that wouldn't just be overkill, it would look ridiculously bad as well. like putting an itx board in a full tower.
 
Really lovely build - it's very much like my rig's big brother! I wish I'd had the space but I think my wife would divorce me if I got a 900D :)

Love all the fans and two 780's would be so nice, mind you I only have a 1920x1080 monitor so it'd be overkill for me.

I'd be very tempted to stick in some of that Mayhem's Aurora Tharsus Red liquid (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-009-MH).

Well done, you must be very proud.

problem with that coolant is that it doesn't even last 2 weeks.
 
Really? I did not know that? how come? I've no actual experience of it to be honest, I just like the look of it.

it's a coolant made for show. i don't exactly know what happens to the coolant, but i guess it turns into some sort of residue which congests the loop.

You know what makes your loreal shampoo sparkle...... well. You can work the rest out.
