yeh i like the res-!
do you have a fillport in the top of your case?
you should get some anti kink tubing-looks cool------>http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...pid=701&catid=193&subcat=1048&name=PrimoChill Anti-Kink Coils 3/4"- Black
if your liquid is uv reactive i think with the anti kink tubing and some uv lights inside it will look cool (doesnt have to be black)

i got 2 12'' uv cathodes that i still have to put in, waiting until system is installed. i was thinking about that tubing, or at least the metal coil that goes around the tubing. kinda too late now, unless i want to cut the old tubing off and start over. no fill port on top, radiator takes up most of the top. i just use the squeeze bottle that came with the coolant. i wonder how hard it's gonna be to install the video cards with everything connected like it is.

the coil goes on without the need for the tubing to be disconnected!!!

its the only way you can do it wrapping it around lol-! well thats how i done it-only done it cos it looks cool 
I dont think youre gonna have much luck conneting your water blocks to your raphics cards like it is, i think youll have to drain your loop first and take it apart.
Also that res looks like it has aluminium in it, mixing metals isnt a good idea, do you you have any anti corrsive agents in your fluid??
Out of interest, why did you use an old board to power the pump on lol ?
Looks like a well thought out loop though congrats

yeah, the only thing touching the coolant in the res is the fittings. the bottle of coolant says: anti-freezing, anti-rusting, and water scale reducing. it's thermaltake stuff. i just realized the expiration date on the bottle says 1-3-08, is that a big deal?
originally, i made a mock setup using the old board, just so i could mark where to drill mounting holes, and to check for fit, stuff like that. then once i set everything up, i figured it would be easier and safer to run it that way in case it leaked. how would you have done it?
i've been looking at these card coolers and i believe i can do it without unhooking anything. kind of defeats the purpose of running a leak test if i take it back apart again. the sli tube has a swivel in it, i can just turn it out of the way to get to the bottom card.
