Here are the finished for now photos. :) This my new 900D build. There is no flexible PVC tubing at all. The loop is completely constructed of Bitspower matte black fittings with the exception of one piece of hard acrylic crystal link between the two Titans. I wanted to try something a bit different and wanted a black stealth look with a small contrast of white and some subtle lighting. There are two Black Ice GTX Extreme Gen 2 480 radiators and one Black Ice GT Stealth 240. All of the Waterblocks are EK and the video cards are EVGA Titan Hydro Coppers. I am also using dual MCP 655 pumps for this single loop. the flow is very fast and seems to have very little resistance.





















 
Very nice! 900D will be my next case, along with two loops for the video cards and processor/motherboard.

What is the sound like with all those fans?
 
At 3/4 speed they are pretty quiet. At full speed they are a bit loud. Not horribly loud though. They cool very well.
 
What fans are those? Look like Antecs (just a guess)?

How much was the entire wc setup? The dual loop system I pieced together was about $1000 perfectly.

Those are Corsair SP120 high performance high static pressure fans on the radiators. AF120's on the front and an AF140 on the rear. I haven't added it up yet. I bought the parts over a while.
 
Why are you cooling it with 1% milk?

Sorry couldn't help myself. Looks very awesome. I'm waiting on 900Ds to become available again to get going on a very similar build. The use of fittings rather than tubes in most of it is pretty interesting, if a bit expensive looking! I'd also be paranoid about that many points of potential O-Ring failure. How did you get everything to line up properly using just a variety of fittings?

My rad setup will be a 480 and a 240 in the bottom, and a 480 on top.
 
It's a nano coolant by Mayhem. It's their Pastel Ice White. It's a very well performing coolant. It comes in a 250 ml concentrate that you mix with distilled water to make 1 liter. That build took over a liter and a half. I did some measurements for the fittings but bought some extra extensions for trial and error. Bitspower is known for excellent high quality fittings and I also did a thorough inspection of all the O rings first. No leaks at all. And I will never have any plasticizer issues. It is also built like a tank with those fittings. No movement at all in the loop. That was surprising to me.
 
I like it I may have to PM you for some info. The only thing I would think would be a downside to no tubing is plugging and unplugging video cards. Not that you have to do this very often anyways.

Well Done.
 
why so many fans with a liquid cooling system like that?

I thought people install these high quality liquid cooling to avoid those annoying fans.

that's just me.
