Turbo'd MX-5 MK4
I've seen a video of that, don't know if they are available in the UK?

Looking good mate. Yeah I was the same when my stuff arrived, though I spent over 3k so had a few more boxes lol
Get some close ups
The bill at the moment once the GPU is bought is a shade under 3K. That's without plans for a second GPU and 12GB, possibly another SSD as well.
Just water tested for the first time and no leaks whatsoever (yet anyway) so pretty pleased, the EK CPU Block is REALLY, REALLY nice.
I'll try and get some pics tomorrow as it's never good to take pics in anything other than daylight.
You know corsair also offer a water block for their memory? If you really wanted to go nuts with the water cooling side of things.

Not in stock yet but I believe you can order them direct from corsair. Will say one thing with the airflow fan set it to a lower speed as at full pelt they can be fairly loud.

how things are looking at the moment:
(I sorted out the Bitspower temperature monitor and XSPC LCD readout as well) but the tube going from the CPU > Radiator is too short and I can't currently fit the Corsair memory fans or LED readout, small pain in the ass, but nothing that can't wait to go in with the GPU.

Shitloads more space in there without an air-based CPU cooler!
Looking great so far m8 - well done!

Wow, that case is huge, its hard to appreciate how big it is until you put a motherboard init.
Bit of a shame that you have to re-do some of the tubing, really its best to "dry" fit everything first before you even consider filling the loop. Don’t forget you need to get all your cables in i.e the 24pin m/board cable which is very close to your res so you might find you need to take that out to get the cable neat, and how you want it.

Great case for cable tidying. Looks a lot like a P190 from there. (Only a proper size)
Looking good mate

Made some progress today, all booted up and a quick install of windows done. It's still going to be some time before this is completely finished, but atleast everything checks out for now. The 8-PIN power connections from the PSU to the top of the motherboard were VERY, VERY tight!

Well the initial build is done, got a few niggles here and there to sort out and do (lighting, couple of cables to sleeve etc) but it's up and running well. Next stage will be to put the watecooled GPU in when I can get my hands on one (it's just got a 5770 in at the moment) and then install the memory fans and LED readout, maybe another 6GB memory as well. After that will come a second GPU and maybe a second SSD.
I need to take some better pics but for now there are these:
I'd say the CPU waterblock is my favourite component, awesome, although the motherboard is stunning as well.

looks amazing, really nice and tidy job you've done!
Im going to do something like this next year with a new Sandy Bridge cpu and try and reach the magic 5ghz.
if you dont mind me asking, what sort of price did the watercooling system come in at?

Approx £500 but I paid a premium for the pump, tubing and reservoir as I had to source them from the USA and pay the corresponding delivery/taxes (which were £70 odd!)

ruined by the stickers!
lol, I knew people would hate them but each to their own.
