Well, I'm not sure if anybody recalls my benching station worklog that I never finished. Well, this is supposed to be it, without the benching station.
Also, thank you for a project name, NaeKuh!
The computer specifications are:
Asus P5W DH Deluxe
Corsair XMS2 DHX 6400-C4 4GB
Seagate 160 GB 7200.10
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300
GeCube X1950XT 512MB
Kingwin Mach II 520W Modular PSU
Again, the parts are like salt and pepper, but I haven't had any issues with any so far. The motherboard is in RMA right now as I think I broke it without any visible damage (heard big crack while putting tubes on.)
The water cooling parts:
Swiftech MCR220 G3/8 Thread
Swiftech DDC1 9W with Alphacool Top
Swiftech Apogee GTZ
Swiftech Micro-Res
Yate Loon High
MasterKleer 7/16" ID
Thermaltake Bigwater SE Radiator
Thermaltake Bigwater SE Pump
Thermaltake AT3 GPU Waterblock
Thermaltake Bigwater SE 5.25" Bay reservoir
Thermaltake 1/4" Tubes
Again, more salt and pepper configurations.
It started out like this.

It slowly moved to this.

Had to find a way to route wires into the case and came up with this.

I finished my GPU loop with Thermaltake parts. Yes, that is a Danger Den MC-TDX . . . which I later returned to MicroCenter for a Apogee GTZ. :p:

Moving on, I bought a Apogee GTZ and here is that installed.

I routed the whole thing and had a bunch of people telling me to push the tubes on . . . and one comment to use Viagra. :confused:

Well, it turns out my radiator is leaking mostly due to this.

During that time, I took apart the whole computer for many reasons. I did order G3/8 to G1/4 adapters which are shown in the video, and during this time I found out my motherboard was also broken. I bought some parts and did some cleaning up in the mean time.

As a fix reccomended by hellcamino, I decided to put JB Weld on the plastic barbs to seal it up. I did this for 2 reasons. A) I will not deface my shiny BitsPower adapters B) The plastic barbs still fit tighter than the adapters.

Now, I am stuck here waiting for my motherboard to come back from RMA. Once I get my motherboard back, I will resume the project based on my high school schedule.
