Thanks, everyone - appreciate the feedback and support. Let me take a stab at answering some of the questions, suggestions:

Re using the mATX board - I made a conscious decision to use the Micro board once I saw how tight the fit was for the full sized board (pics early in the log). At that time, I was thinking a dual rad in the top, or possibly SLI for the GPUs. Quite frankly, when I look at the setup without the window, I too say "hmmmnnn - full-sized board would be a better balance." But, it doesn't look bad with the window, and quite frankly - this little EVGA board handles everything I need, so hard to justify an exchange.

The sleeving is MDPC-X.

@ Waterlogged - yes, I want to see the display in action as well. Hopefully will be able to incorporate that when I get back to it.

Too much red / different shades of red - yes, the red is very hard to photograph because it reflects light differently in different parts of the case. It's all the same paint on the mobo tray and drive bay cages - the paint on the fans matches the tray nicely in person - looks a bit different in the photos. Too much red? Perhaps - I really wasn't even going to use the Drive Bay cages, but now I kind of like them. Remember, when the panel is on, you won't see them at all.

Re Bleeding the air out of the loop - I tested it before going with this installation and it bled very easily. I will say, it was a pain to bleed the last go around, but with a bit of tilting, seemed to get all of the air out of the radiators.

@ blazarcher - what, you didn't read all 30 pages + ? (just kidding!). As Waterlogged says, there are two MCR 420s in the bottom, with GT1850 fans, and the res is a 250ml - horizontal config on top the radiators. I could easily add a dual or triple rad in the top as well. I'm using 2 x MCP355 pumps, with the EK Dual DDC top. Yes, I could have placed it next to the motherboard, but everybody does that, and I also wanted to try getting all my water cooling components in the bottom compartment.
