The "red" liquid is just distilled water with red food coloring added to it. I did add some of the "pink" anti-corosion liquid I got with the kit first.

No need to apologize, first loop is usually a bit rougher than the next ones. My loop has some extra tubing in it as well, I'm just too lazy to clean it up :p:

Here is what I see that you can do:
1. Rotate your Fuzion so the logo is upright, then run to the rad. Cut the tubing shorter by a few inches, you could probably remove 3-5 inches from that run.
2. Shorten the tubing from the rad to the res. Don't do it too much so that it kinks but you could lose a couple inches from there.

That would neaten it up quite a bit :)

See, this is exactly what I need. Thank you Sparky :D I will work on that this weekend. So the D-Tek logo should be facing up towards the PSU? Also, what would be the best way to drain a system? As I'm sure I should so I don't screw anything up while remounting the block.

The Dtrk logo when upright is on the bottom of the block, so then the outlet is on the upper right. Basically turn the block a quarter turn to the right.

Not sure on how to drain the system, I haven't drained mine before lol

LOL it isn't fun let me tell you that. For darkjedi's setup I'd either pull the pump out from under the PCI cards and set it in a bowl if the tubes are long enough, and pull one. If that wont work, I'd set a bowl under the res and pull the bottom tube out.

DarkJedi, you could probably clean the loop up even further than stated by SparkyJJO. Here's what I would do on top of spinning the D-Tek, take the pump and stand it up under the res with inlet pointing towards back of case, have outlet go to rad, rad to Fuzion, Fuzion to GPU block, GPU block back to res.

As for draining, you can unbolt the res and undo the cap, turn it upside down into a bowl or something/somewhere else for reuse/disposal, and gently crack loose the top hose on the Fuzion to get a good flow going.

i saw that too but i'm guessing it's just the way that shiny black tubing reflects.

with a case that big and tubing that small, you'd have to try REAL HARD to get a kink lol

I zoomed in on that pic and it doesn't look like a kink to me.
But he could have routed that tubing a little nicer.
That 90deg elbow is pointed some what to the back of the case too.
So that tube is making an extra bend.

But all in all it looks great.:up:

Beautiful build there funkflix, thats a work of art :up:

Though, I think I speak for a number of people when I say that a list of parts would be nice. I personally would be very interested in knowing what case that is (chieftec?) and what brand those waterblocks are of as I haven't seen that design around yet.

The water blocks look like they are Mips. http://www.mips-computer.de/

I would like to know what case that is too.

I like the free room in the case, because i work a lot on my system! And sometimes i get called Mr. External.. :p: It is my passion to make the radiators external.

Thx for the warning, but as stormshadow already said, it is reflection.

Tubing is close to perfect imho, tried a lot of variations. :)

It's hard to make good pictures with flash and few space, but i hope u will see now, that there is no kink! :p:

Ah now i see it :p:

BTW: I didn't liked them either when i got them back a few months. I got used to them now. But when i bought the case, i couldn't find any Stainless steel 120mm fan grills. Those are the only ones i had found. Now, Performance PCs has some killer looking ones from kikbox. I was totally drooling when i first saw them. Then, i saw the price... For 6 of them, (4 in front and 2 on top) it would of cost me over 150$ CAD ... Way too much for me since i had just left my job :yepp:
