Thanks for the kind words guys.
The tubing took around 3 hours to bend and fit. I kept it suspended in boiling water to be able to fit it in tight spaces.
Proflex LRT is much easier to work with than the Tygon R3603 tubing - I hope this primochill tubing goes stiff over time though. If I used proper angled fittings on each component, fitting parts would not have been a hassle at all. (You can see where lots of 90 degree connectors would have been handy)
I didn't drill a single hole or modify the chassis apart from powdercoating it - I was pretty resourceful with how I did things and kept it at a way where I could reassemble and resell if something failed / I lost interest.
The temps are ok. at 3.6Ghz (1.2v) it loads at around 78c with furmark running on the GPU. Idle is around 45c. Ambient 24c.
I'm using the fractal design silent series fans (12dba / 24cfm) and they struggle to push air through the 92mm radiators compared to the noctuas.
The radiators are easily on par with 120mm equivalents due to how freakin' chunky they are.

I don't mind too much though, the system is 100% stable at 3.6Ghz, I think I am asking for too much when I want to run such a small, powerful system at 4ghz daily. It adds way too much heat with HT on. (I can't disable HT in the Shuttle BIOS yet)
another pic so i'm not going offtopic hehe
