One of the best I've ever seen so far, but:
Perhaps some yellow highlights though? Even just a yellow edge for the radiation symbol would really polish it off (and while you're at it a matching green for the biohazard)

Actually while I was finishing the project log and working on the Rig Gallery posts I did add it up... I shouldn't have. It's not as bad as I thought when I started, but it wasn't much better. Just a touch over $3k(not sure what the exchange rates are like, but it gives you a good idea) invested on my end. Since I got good deals on a couple of the more expensive items and did a bunch of bargin shopping I think I ended up pretty well.

I have actually been thinking about something like that. Just a little something to help them stand out a little. not exactly sure how I want to do that part yet.

it's a 45 degree rotary adapter. If you use a small spacer you can use a 90 degree fitting and go direct to the rez.
Thats a 45?!?!?! D: ugh i hate that im such an indecisive person

What company does 30 degree adapters? never seen them.
It could look fine, I'm just not sure what you are working with to really make a decisive answer. what you rockin?

Well, http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=29103
Are the fittings, and i will be doing a corsaid 800d case. With a simple i7 2600k CPU wc setup.
The rad-

And the wholes where the inlet/outlet wholes are will be right above the bay, Which is good for the Xsoc rez/pump combo
Rez/pump-

Which will be in the bay so for the 3 tube loop one will only be like 5 inches long xD

This is what i want to do.
i was thinking two angled fittings on the cpu block, One 90 degree from xspc rez/pump up the 6 inches to a strait fitting coming from the outlet of the rad.. Then a strait fitting coming out of the rez/pump to the cpu block which will have a (45 or 30) and then the outlet from the cpu block (45 or 30) going back to the inlet of the rad which will be another 90. SO i dont have big sweeping loops in my case from having all strait fittings.

Ahhhh, enzotech. Now its starting to come together. I would recommend your loop order going Pump/rez > Radiator > CPU > Rez. That way the freshly cooled water will be hitting your chip first, not the pump. Other than that I say you have put a fair amount of time and thought into your loop, always a good choice. Can't wait to see the results.
Thank you. Fan grill was my favorite part to make. I needed something to make it different, I think it was a wise choice
Ahh thank you a lot, How do you think i should set my push pull config in the 800d? Now i know its known as the hotbox but im going to be taking the Hotswop drive bay completly out most likely, But should i pull air from inside the case and push it out through the top fans? Or pull air from the top and exhaust it back into the case, Im sure the first is the most logical of the two, But if the air from inside is hot how am i cooling the rad >.>

Heat rises, I feel it would be better to push the warm air out through the top. What motherboard and GPU are you running?
Well at the moment nothing, Im just planning. 4700-4900 dollars will be used in this build; with 200 to mouse and keyboard. Then 450 to 3x23 led monitors. The rest will be towards the build, Wanting either a BD build or i would LOVE lga2011 to come out already, Looking to run MAYBE depending on price two mars 2 or a single Mars 2 (Depending on price). I might go with 3x 3gb gtx 580s or 2 590s, I like two physical cards over 3 but im not for sure, HOPING asus does not cheap out on their new maximus extreme and do dual 16x and not just (x16, x8). Red and black is my theme, Some ripjaw x's 16gbs 1600mhz is what im looking at; depening on lga2011 or BD build im not for sure. Single 60gb crucial sata III ssd for OS and then a single 2tb caviar black. And a corsair 800d, I know its not that great of a case but ill mod it to make it work. I cant stand anything other then a sqaur clean slate case. All this round crap makes me sick and makes it hard to look good IMO. I like clean cut lines and good looking material.

Sounds like a beast is going to be born.
Are you going to wait to build this or are you starting to get parts together now? LGA 2011 probably will not hit markets until late this year, my best estimate is that it will probably hit around holiday season. BD was going to be out this month, but they moved it back until July, so not sure what is going on there. Some of the AM3+ boards are already hitting the shelves, so it shouldn't be to long.
I have seen some things with EVGA bringing about some nice 590's in the near future, but pretty sure they have custom water blocks and PCB's. Not a fan of more than two cards, mostly because the scaling after that is crap, just not worth the money. Even if you roll with 580's I couldn't recommend going with more than two cards.
I like the 800D case personally, yeah it's not much good for air, but it has plenty of room for a very nice water setup and you can always modify stuff to make it more unique. Go with what you feel.

I was willing to try anything to get the Temp on that thing down. It's so hot.
