Hello from the politically correct over-taxed polite socialist ice cube known as Canada! :beerchug:
Like a lot of people, Tom's excellent videos brought me here. He's a fun guy to watch / listen to, and I figure if he's here the rest of you can't be that bad.
I'm about to embark on my second water cooled build. I'm 42, been building systems since my first 386, but only recently got into water stuff. Since I'm about to migrate my 1st water loop into a proper case (Case Labs Magnum M8 cube), I thought I'd sign up for semi-noob help / opinions / etc. You know the drill.
Current system is in a Corsair 800D case, gear as follows:
i7 3820 / Asus Rampage IV Gene / 16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum
120GB ADATA S510 SSD x 2 (RAID0) / 1TB W.D. x 2 (RAID1) / 1TB Seagate x 2 (stand alone)
Sapphire Radeon 7950 3GB
Corsair AX750 power supply
XSPC Raystorm CPU block / AlphaCool 79x0 v2 GPU block
XSPC dual D5 bay reservoir with dual D5 variable pumps
XSPC EX360 / EX140 rads
Mix of XSPC / Bitspower compression fittings (3/8 5/8)
FrozenQ helix reservoir (blood red)
Primochill Advanced LRT tubing
System looks like crap right now (1st time water builder, didn't have a clue, and still don't really). That's why I'm here.
Well that and because Brits / Europeans are generally awesome people. 
Cheers folks! :beerchug:
