Great swapping of cards, James. Does the 5870 also have that "hulkish" green back plate the 5850 had as well?
Can't wait for the twist and most of all have a great time during your holidays. :up:

Thanks all!
Green backplate? Maybe it was the reflection as I recently painted my room green :) It'll make as an awesome backdrop for my final photos ;) More on that later though :up: Thanks Capt! Holidays should be awesome, right on the beach :yepp:Quote:

block beautiful, congratulations
This is my last update before I go away (tomorrow, for 10 days) I'm still deciding what reservoir to go with, wait for Iandh's res, or, just go with the EK250 res. Ian's reservoir is much better IMO, it's just the wait that will kill me as it's the LAST thing I need for my build.
Anyway, my EK package arrived which I was expecting during my holiday! It only took 4 business days to get here which is SUPER quick! The problem that I had was that the stock OR EK backplate hit the MIPS block, this is an issue ONLY with my board blocks AFAIK and a backplate will not hit the blocks on a classified. I couldn't change my layout as it would have been too hard, *Out comes the dremel...ZEEEEEEEEEEEE ZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
It now fits like a glove and looks pretty cool too. (sorry bout the dust guys!)

One thing I was amazed at is EK actually thought about us users with 1/2"ID 3/4" OD compressions this time, you do NOT need to use a 45* or 90* for once! w00t.

Thanks!
Nice! Enjoy your holiday, James.
Almost there mate and looking good! Enjoy your break :up:
Looks sweet champ.:up:
With just a little rounding off of the corners, it would look EK factory made, well done mate! :clap:
Enjoy your time off. :yepp:
Man I love these EK blocks...
Can't wait, but I hope you have a good time!
Thanks Sharron! Looking forward to the new cube! :) The last one was stunning.Quote:

It'll be here early next week I hope, then, the HULK will/should be completed :) There is still one little suprise...
Well, here is a small update to keep you occupied until I get my final piece for the build early next week :)
Sorry about the picture quality, I forgot to turn ISO back down to 80 so there is a lot of noise.
Meet the twins.

WoW the twins looks Very sexy, I bet ther perform well too. :yepp:
Glad your back mate.:up:
Looking forward to seeing this up and running.
Looks damn nice man keep it up.
Wish I could get sponsors for my build so I can actually finish it.
can't wait to see it up and running! nice job :up:
awesome! give us some night shots :)
that looks awesome.
Wow! Love the twins, James. I can't wait to see how the flex lights up your system (show night shots!) I'm glad to hear you're nearing the finish line on this incredible build but sad that I don't get to see more surprise updates.
Always been a fan of your color choice on sleeving and you certainly didn't disappoint again.
Do I win anything if I guess the res correctly?
(Frozen Q's UV Green?)
i wish i got as nice sleeving as you got :O
Question: Why do you have those two pumps connected to eachother? just to uhh.. speed up the liquid?
Anyway. This looks sick! The colours are just perfect!
