After having extensively considered the most appropriate expression of my emotional state concerning the above pictures (and especially the white rads) the conclusion was reached to express said state thusly:
:dribble: :dribble: :dribble:
Seriously though, those rads look the balls. And the rest ain't nothing to sneeze at either
How did you get those nice white rads? Custom order or after-market paint job?
I second that expression.
That color scheme is flavor. I wanna see what the GPU block | bridge set up is gonna look like.
Okay guys a bit of a update. Still trying to work on things whilst having a crazy busy time at work and social life (honest im not a pc nerd 
)
So here goes I don't know if I stated earlier but this is my first venture into watercooling so I took a lot of steps back from the build to think things through.
Well first things first a few things needed sorted out the led controller for one I didnt want to have to go around the back of my pc every 2 mins (not that I would turn leds on and off that much but ease of access and all that)
Here is what it looked like originally
And this is where I'm going to be putting it.
And how it looked when trying the fitting need to file the upeer edge down.
So then I go too looking at removing the hardware from the old case in preparation for installation into the TJ10. Size Comparison
Top rad, fans and mesh fitted. Wasnt the easiest thing ive ever done with 1 pair of hands could've done with a helper to be honest.
Wires wires and more wires damn cable management is gonna be fun on this one.
Stripping down the mobo and cleaning tim and block fitting.
So then it was on to the Gpu dissembling and block fitting on there again this wasnt very easy as the backplates had rubber on them to stand them off but this made it stupidly difficult to fit the backplate.
So then next up was the fitting of the tubing and running the loop. This is when i realised I hadnt taken the clear backing off the CPU block (schoolboy error) so had to bleed the loop for the first time. This would need further bleeds due to lack of insight. Like the PSU not fitting. Then look at the state of the bridge that was fiddly as hell too and being wonkier then wonky the donkey need sorted asap.
Took some night time shots whilst leak testing at 1:40am in the morning :-S
After leaving it overnight leak testing no leaks waste of time really since now I needed to take the loop apart again to fix that horrendous looking bridge slant. Anyways I managed it and heres what came of it .
Starting routing some of the fan and led wires in preparation.
The routing of the tubing into the 480 I will be shortening the tubing in the res.
Clearence on the PSU and the horrid phobya 45's that will be getting replaced ASAP.
Loop pretty much ready for filling.
Side panel test fitting and a thumbs up from me to you all .
Thats it for now.
Still to do ..........
Replace the Phobya Fittings
Route all the wires and fully cable manage it.
Installation of the Samsung 840 - 256gb and WD Black 1 TB
I managed to chip the bottom rad so I need to touch that up or pull it out and respray the lot.
Debadging the PSU (also possibly the MOBO)
GPU Backplates in white acrylic with black pulse on them also the same for the Crossfire cable.
Braiding of all seen Cables.
Im also thing of replacing those enzotech heatsinks with the specialtech full ones as seen here they look much cleaner.
Also I am podering the thought of removing half the tubing and replacing it with clear and running blood red coolent. Time will tell on that on though.
Thanks for popping in and taking a look .

Man, the longer I look at this, the more beautiful I find it. :blush: Whoever did the
case mod for you, they did a lovely job. And that 480 in the roof is just awesome!
Eagerly awaiting more pics.

Yeah a guy called PSmawson deserves most of the credit
I appreciate your kind words my first watercooled build so im learning all the time the cable management is gonna be a mre though the tj10 is pretty bad for it so time will tell although this will most likely be on hold till after im back from taiwan in a month hoping to get a meeting with bitspower whilst out there.haha love the thumbs up in the reflection pic
Really starting to come along now dude and some nice skills on show
