Hey all! Just wanted to share my build after the latest revision, as it's now got a proper full-cover block on the 1080ti and I went from PETG to Stainless tubing! =)

The stainless stands out a bit better without the case lighting:

...but the block lighting is really good!

Enjoy! =)

P5. The P3 was just a touch small for what I wanted to do; reservoir has to me mounted on rad, no vertical PSU mount unless you have an ITX mobo, etc.

Brilliant, that's actually what I wanted to know about. I've got a garage wall computer coming and I wanted to know what space was like if I went that route.

Here's a few pics of my brother's P3 build and it has the same component sizes as mine: https://hardforum.com/threads/my-bros-new-p3-build.1958287/

He's got a full ATX PSU and mobo, a 420mm rad that he had to extensively dremel to fit, the same size reservoir as me (though he has the DDC version), and he made a 3D printed bracket to mount that to the rad.

A smaller build would look good in a P3, and his has a nice sort of industrial look to it, but I'd recommend P5 if you're fitting full-size hardware just for ease of install.
 
Is that the XSPC Photon 270mm or what size is that tube? Friend is trying to dump his 170mm Photon on me and I don't think it will look big enough on top of the radiator and funny enough I was planning to 3d print my own bracket to put the res on my 480 rad for the build, heh.

It is the 270 in both cases. Mine's the D5 and his is the DDC (which is discontinued.)

The newer version of the Photon reservoirs come with a bracket that have holes spaced for mounting to fans/radiators.
 
Where did you get the SS tubing? Also petg compression fittings?
