Been a while since my last update, but I've been busy with work. I have still managed to get a fair amount of work done though. All the watercooling gear is in now, bar the GPU block. EK only included 4x screws for mounting the block, great. I've opened up a support ticket, but I've yet to have a response. If needs be, to get the rig full of water and leak tested, I will go to the local James Listers and get some of the M3 DIN screws tomorrow. Pretty annoying, but hey, you can't account for these things; I'm not too happy considering I ordered it last week with 1 day DHL express and it didn't turn up til Friday :/
The routing of the tubing was actually not as hard as I imagined, once I ripped out the bottom of the drive bay cage. I got the dremel out and smashed it out in 5 mins, no need to keep it neat and tidy, the rougher the better.
The pump directly feeds the pump via a male to male 1/4" fitting.
As hinted before, the block arrived, buts useless without another 11x M3 DIN screws
On a positive note, ordered the CPU (6600K) and an SSHD (just to play about with) for the build from Overclockers on Friday and it arrived on Saturday, this meant I can get the CPU block mounted and start tubing up.
As you can see, nearly there! Just get the GPU block in a acquire some RAM, then we are done!
Hope you all had a great weekend! More updates soon!

I love it all - but ^ this needs to be put into production. Fallout Soda.
Really love what you've done to weather and age everything. Took me ages to work out what was at the end of the 24pin (The PSU jumper) but it looks like it belongs there anyways. Very 50's vibe plug.
Can't wait to see it all finished

Well, well, well. What an absolutely crazy few days. I've been working like a trooper to get the project finished up.
I did have some issues with some of the EK blocks not fitting correctly, so to save messing about with any RMA, I just bought another and a backplate.
I have got some other in progress shots, however, I am eager to get onto Fallout 4 now as I've not had chance to play it yet! :'(
Without much furtherado... here are some pics
Photographs were taken with a Canon 70D with a 17-50mm f/2.8 and Manfrotto BeFree tripod.
I also got some amazing help from my friend Tom, who helped me out with a lovely video of the build. We used an outdoor storage area, in an old school house. There was plenty of old tarp, cans, propane tanks, bottles of various cleaning fluids and general junk.
Be sure to watch the video, its pretty epic, even if I do say so myself!

So far, its good. Its not blown me away, yet. The lack of FOV change (not working in console), brightness adjustment and a few bits of fps drops are annoying. Gonna keep playing through though, it looks like there is plenty to do
