Notes

The GPU is a place holder. I'd like to eventually get some hydros in it and up the RAM. I've been slowly throwing money into it for the last 2-3 years or so. My current rig is about ready to bite the dust, so I rush finished this rig so I can finally play with it. I didn't have a lot of money to work with in the end so I had to skimp on the GPU and RAM a little. I'm okay with that, it leaves room for upgrades. Yeah its not a Sandy or x79 or anything super new, but I bought this board 2 years ago, so I'm just working with what I already had. :P

Added a screenshot of the pump/res side of the loop. On the left you're looking from the inside of the case, towards the front. The black bracket was the original Haf-X hotswap bracket. I took it apart and attached a Koolance PCI pass through bracket. The fitting coming into it is the long tube you see coming out of the rad in the other shots. The dual 90 degree fittings are connecting the two chambers of the dual chamber res for a single, dual pump loop. Hiding in the back is the Koolance quick disconnect which is the outlet of the res, to the mobo block. On the right you're looking at the same brackets, but from the front side. The tubing going down is from the modded pass through into the res as its inlet. As you can see this is an area I use to hide some wires since this isn't an area you typically see. Hope that helps! :)

Thanks for the +1 guys! They are all bitspower fittings, with 1 koolance quick disconnect for draining. I took the hotswap bracket that comes with the haf-x and modded it a little with a PCI pass through bracket. I'll get a better picture of the back of the res so you can see how it all works.
