Hi Guys.
Sorry its been SOOOOO long in an update comming,
lots of family stuff to work through and a new job.
Anyway today ive started the ball rolling, new ram and a good tidy up of the system.
Just ordered some more corsair fans and a tube res for the upcomming expansion of watercooling within the next month,
anyway here are some pictures.
Mounted the SSD's onto the side of the Monsta rad, they will be hidden away a bit more when the corsair fans arrive. Nice little picture of the front mod for the monsta rad.
Just thought id let you guys in on a little partnership thats going on,
Myself and Mr. PEXON are knocking our heads together on this to work out a roof mod for a 360 mod, aswell as a few other small bits and bobs, so there may be a big mod comming soon!

I'm assuming the blue coolant is just temporary? If not, I'm not sure if I like the blue and red combo. Other than that it looks pretty nice

Anyone else see the problem here?
Scale drawing of the roof in sketch up, A being the sunken roof section B being the hotswap hatch!
the set of holes for the 3rd fan on a 360 are too close to B.
Looks like the option is to get a custom grill made for the roof, cut a whole section out and move the mounts about 30-40mm towards the back of the case.

Just a little update, Nate at E22 is gunna do the grill for the roof mod,
just ordered the tube res and D5 witht he Alphacool pump top, gunna get the cable on that D5 all sleeved up!
also got a couple of Alphacool copper fittings on the way just to test out in various locations so i can figure out what im gunna need.
now i need some help peeps.
motherboard wise, was thinking about getting the maximus V formula, so with the ram and what will be custom braided cables and the corsair fans was a copper and black rig with red accents. Was gunna buy the EK waterblocks for it as well just purely for asthetics.
The other option is that i go MSI Z77 Mpower as its all black, braid the cables a copper brown and black, spray the rings on the fans copper and spray the yellow on the board copper and souly have a copper and black rig.
The one thing that annoys me with the MSI baord is the blue LEDs can these be turned off?
Opinions welcome peeps.
Also just remember the blue in the rig atm is from an old color scheme, that will be comming out for an upcomming build for my partner in a phantom 410

I'd go with the Formula, but the MPower is an Amazing Board.
