Looks great.

Now you just need some touch-up paint for those two spots on the drive cage that got nicked (possibly by the radiator?)

Sorry. You've probably already noticed it. Please take it as a compliment and not a criticism. It's just that your build is looking nice enough that anything that strays a tiny bit from the norm will stand out. One of the prices you pay for building an excellent machine.

That's a beautiful reddish paint that you've gone with. It blends with the black really well. I usually don't care for red in builds all that much, but you've gone with a great shade of it.

Very nice build. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for pointing that out Xion. Graeme got it, the rad nicked it on the way in but thankfully the surface took no damage. What you're seeing is small paint flecks catching the light just right (wrong). I cleared them with a thumbnail pretty easily.

Btw I didn't paint the case it came anodized red.

We can always trust you kibbler to find a quick and easy fix for any challenge at comes along, well done mate.

I also forgot to say earlier that I am glad to see that you have just run the return hose straight to the res without any 90 or 45 degree fittings.

Oh and remember as for as the rad goes, a Snug Fit, Is a Good Fit.

Edit: I think that may very well just be white paint from the rad and not chips in the red anodized case and if so should just rub off easily.

Thanks KG, I prefer to use as few fittings as possible. On that return line I actually went back just now and took off about an inch and a half of tubing. I was worried it came out too much and would interfere with tall ram. Now the curve should just clear the edge of the motherboard.

SCORE on the Aquaero!

EDIT:

I'm making a note here: I took a closer look at Wezly's Raven project, then I found and examined more photos of Raven1 and Raven2.

That wasn't a good idea.

For the past hour and likely for the next hour my head is flooding with sweet ideas for setups in those cases: Put the rad here, patch the plate here, move the PSU there, route from here to here, mount the pump here.

It's a disease I tell you.
