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.![]()

Have a sweet holiday mate.
Right on the beach hay.
If your gon'a break out them budgie smugglers, Don't forget to slip-slop-slap that sunscreen on.
Oh neally forgot, don't forget the Airoguard and you'll have a great time.
Looking forward to your back-to-back updates when you get back champ.![]()
No I didn't see that, guess it's google time again.
block beautiful, congratulations
SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH!
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.
The nickel goodness.
Thanks!

Looks sweet champ.
With just a little rounding off of the corners, it would look EK factory made, well done mate!
Enjoy your time off.![]()
Man I love these EK blocks...
Can't wait, but I hope you have a good time!
The black compressions make your backplate look even more killer, James.
Enjoy your time off at the beach and hopefully you'll be greeted with a small gift from me upon your return.
Take pics if you can!

Back from holidays!
Got my new reservoir yesterday, EK250 res, then sold it in about 5minutes, I know, I could have finished the build but I just bought a different/better/you'll see reservoir which got shipped minutes ago., via express of course. It'll be here early next week I hope, then, the HULK will/should be completedThere 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.
And here is the Lamptron Flex Light strip which will light up my WHOLE system.
Once again, I'd just like to thank my sponsors.

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?

Cheers CptI'll be sad it's fnished too but hey, I still got your build which is making more and more anxious to see the final build. And BTW, your guess is wrong
Hehe, yes, the 2 pumps connected to each other will result in more flow/powa.
