Finally got this in!

 

 

 

Sent you the wrong one, should say Mazda

The prototype copper backplate I laid out for the KPE showed up today and pretty much lines up with the oem backplate ( ± a fraction of a millimeter in a couple of places; nothing I can't fine tune). It'll work and I'll use it with an MP5WORKS block secured by screws while I'm waiting on the Optimus active block:

 

 

It's a heavy sucker!

Anyway, it's time for some...

The rads showed up today, the top will be the 420x45 rad from the other system.
Ordered 24 fans. I still need to make up my mind about tubes and fittings.

After my heart. Love Acool rads. Case looks great! Oh and i'm sure you know @Bastiaan_NLbut Acool rads are really dirty, make sure you clean them or run a good filter.

Thanks!
I love their rads, and the Xflow design really helps with routing the tubes through the case.

Even if I add all my ML fans I still don't have enough..

Made up my mind about the fittings, so "True Brass" it is. 
 

 

(Sorry about the double post..)

...Nice ! Looks like you're going for the black and brass/gold look; hope to see the final results. FYI on ZMT tubing: Make sure to flush it several times before install, including with very warm water (final flushes w/ distilled)

Thanks for the heads up! 
If I don't like the tubing I might change it, it's almost free compared to those fittings.

Surprised you didn't go Tygon.

This song came to mind with you flashing those sick fittings.

This tubing outperforms neoprene, EPDM, and other general-purpose tubing. It has a wide range of applications such as gaskets, abrasion-r...

 

 

Yup.

I just picked the only black tubing my local shop had. Is it really a big upgrade over the ZMT tubing?

Well, for starters, you don't need to clean it for an hour before using it. Iv'e never seen it crack or fail either. There are quite a lot of complaint threads over at OCN, specifically about EK's ZMT. 

 

I don't know the cost to ship to Nederland, but I have a shyt ton of the stuff and you can have it for the cost of shipping.

I've never used ZMT myself, but I have noted people have complained about how well it works with certain fittings (e.g., Bitspower; pulls out of the fitting easily). I don't have that issue with the Bitspower fittings/TYGON combo I use.

Latest purchase.  Some rads fittings and a pump res combo. Broke out my old Cooler Master case to finish the case mod build I started almost 10 years ago. Will have 4 rads inverted mother board tray and a whole lot of diamond plate. 

[Ducrider]

The case in question.

Thanks a lot for the offer, though I am afraid that shipping will be more expensive
I've been looking around on several webshops here and I've found Tygon Norprene R6016 tubing, 1/2 id 3/4 od. Is that comparable to the tubing you guys use?

The A-60-G is a bit harder to find, but I'll continue tomorrow.

 

@Ducrider Interesting, are you going to make a build log?

I am planning on making one once I get some more of the pieces found in my attic and better idea of the build.

[J7SC_Orion]

...picked up some more 10-pwm / Sata powered fan hubs and also a couple of tubes of MX5 for back-up...w-cooling parts assortment table is getting several stories deep  ...couldn't fit two jugs each of distilled and deionized water I bought on the same trip on the table...

That's a lot of goodies!

I ordered some more parts for the folding rig last night.  I plan to order a Spotswood case soon.  Then I'll just need to acquire another card (or two).

 

Another Super Flower Leadex Titanium 1000w:

 

 

A PSU daisy chain adapter for using two PSUs in one system (per @BWG this one will work):

 

 

 

 

Two PCIe 4.0 x16 riser cables (also per @BWG this was the one to get):

I'm trying to figure out what my last/next purchase will be, but I can't seem to find anything I need or want. Maybe that means I need to buy my Wife something?

[The Pook]

you should buy me something cus D'Jango won't
