After much pain and work, I have finished my hardined m1.
specs
asus rog viii motherboard
intel 6600k
PNY 1080
samsung 850 ssd (2 in raid)
thermaltake riiing rgb fans
silverstone 600w psu
alphacool nexxxus gpu waterblock
swiftech apogee drive cpu block/pump
swiftech qp 240mm radiator
MNpctech sli gpu support
MNpctech feet
I hardlined the whole thing, no softlines anywhere. The hardest part of the hardline setup was by far getting the cpu exit line, it had to wrap around and do nearly a full 360 from where it started.
I have water temp sensors, and a gpu block temp sensor keeping tabs on my temps. I never get over 55c on the gpu and 45 on the cpu. Pump runs at 1400rpm and the fans max out at 1400 rpm. so everything stays pretty quiet.
The gpu support was a bit of a pain, I tried to use the standard gpu support, but it was too thick and hit my fittings. So, I had to spring for the sli mount (2 in a pack) they are single slot sized and it fits like it was made for this case. You dont get bottom fans with the sli mount, but thats ok as I didnt see any change in temps when I had a pair of 120mm fans in there. It does cover up the empty space down there really nice.

In the future I plan to put some colored dye in the loop and sleeve all of my cables.
