Hi guys, sorry for the lack in updates, I have been ill the last few days and pretty much spent the majority of them in bed! Feeling better today and done some adjustments to the radiators and also painted the fan controller..

Thought I would do a quick assemble to see were everything's at...

Thanks Neox69 ;)

Today I refitted the bottom rad and got the cabling done. Next step is to get the copper pipe measured, cut, bent and fitted...

Definitely impressed by the quality of the acrylic! The holes are perfectly aligned and the finish is flawless!

Also included was a few modding "extras" ;)

I want to give a massive thanks to Bill Owen at Mnpctech for supplying this project with this lovely replacement window and also for such an awesome guy.. ;)

Are you going to polish the copper pipe or let it / force it to tarnish into verdigris?

Tiny little update for today..

While I'm waiting on the last of the watercooling stuff to arrive I had a go at making some sli bridges..

Definitely feeling the "less is more" feeling with this one.. ;)

Also had to move a few things around to re-position the pump under the res..

Looks fantastic. Seriously good job.

As an aside, is that oil you're pumping through the loop? I'm joking of course, but the look is a clever idea/choice.

Thanks Lord Brand, it was a very enjoyable project.. and yes, of course it's oil.. ;)

impressive work here!

still one of the coolest C70 builds to date!
