Many thanks! I appreciate it.

Another update today and a short one. The pics first, then my thoughts and your input!











I still have much to do and a number of decisions to make. Obviously, I still have to remove the little pesky stickers from the MB and figure out the loop, which will be fun.
You cannot see it in the pics but there is a LSI RAID card between the 580's. I did not want to space them this way, but I had no choice. Now I have to decide how I want to connect the 580's? I am leaning towards the "Crystal" option as it will help further conceal the RAID card. I really liked my configuration in my last build,



I cannot do that again, so I am open to suggestions.
Regarding the loop, look at all of the fittings! The tube routing will take a lot of thought and me losing a great deal of skin!

The EK Advanced RES is trully advanced. I opened it today and I was totally confused, but I like it. BTW, the EK 580 blocks are pure H20 :banana::banana::banana::banana: and easily installed. Thanks Eddy, your team does outstanding work.

Once again, I am open to suggestions, comments, negative or positive.
This old dog is having to learn too many new tricks!!

Cheers!
