I like it too, but is the GPU->CPU tube a hair too long?

It may be. There is about a 1/4" of slack as the VC's are not screwed into the backplate. And I thought I was anal Thanks!

Lookin good Rocky, I like the blue more and more when I see it. From a looks standpoint the 45 might be the ticket (did I just type that? ).

The only problem that I have with individually sleeved wire bundles is that they lose some of their beauty when they separate. But when they maintain their uniformity it looks very sharp. The question is how to achieve this, tie wraps, separate sleeving? A black banding system would look good, hold the wires in place without having an eyesore.

I think that this is going to require moar scotch to contemplate the possibilities.

Oh, and because of you I have my UFO torn apart behind me trying to tame the wiring nightmare that is my computer. It is a good thing that I already drink or this would definitely drive me to it.

I will take a pic for you of the 45 and see what you think. It may be the BP logo but it doesn't look clean to me. Thanks for the compliment!
I know exactly what to do about the wires...that is a later update. I can't give it all away just yet. I just wanted to make sure my idea would work. I tested it today on the other sleeve and it is the cat's pajamas as Skinniee would say. I am drinking scotch, please don't worry! I drink like Winston Churchill. I would quote him about his thoughts but I don't want to get in trouble!

Maybe you can twist the tubing on the GPU-Res path to not have it "arch up" so much. A gentle torsional twist before pushing onto the 2nd barb might make it lower profile.

Are going to add a fill port and hose over to the naked barb in your picture?

The tubing leading to the Res is on a 3/8" barb so that I can make adjustments. Once the tubing goes on the 1/2" barbs it is not coming off. Believe me, there is no such thing as a gentle twist! I have lost a great deal of skin getting the tubing on the 1/2" barbs. The tubing rests in boiling water for about 30-45 seconds and then you cuss your brains out and hope!
There will not be a fill port. Another trick in the bag to come later.

I think the blue looks good, and I like the fact that you have such a small amount of tubing for a CPU and 2xGPU loop.

I'm kinda still thinking the use of a 45 or two would make the CPU > GPU loop look a little less strained (not that it is, just the way it looks). It sure isn't going anywhere, and there are no kinks, so flow should be good.

Shazza,
Thanks! I am trying to use as little tubing as possible. I guess I like the strained look after my days of using many elbows in my Aqua days. I will post a pic of the EK with the 45 but I just don't like it.
Thanks to BA for the tubing choice. You would be hard pressed to kink this tubing. Now, back to the scotch and smokes, yes I know I am politically and socially incorrect! Oh well

Many thanks for all of the input, I appreciate it.
