Also, what are those fittings you're using with the rigid acrylic? When I put together the parts for my current build all I could find were fittings that just screamed rigid acrylic, like the Revolvers I'm using or Monsoon's Chain Gun fittings. These you have look like standard compression fittings. I like that!

Yea it's by far my longest LOL. The fittings are the new Bitspower rigid tube compression fittings: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=39664 They won't work with the Primochill tubing, only the E22 stuff or any other 10mm ID/12mm OD acrylic tubing. I went with them because I hated how big and bulky the Primochill and Monsoon rigid fittings are.

That's what I like about them too, thanks for the link!

I filled the loop with Mayhem's Pastel Mint Green. I like it but it's a tad too light for me - I was looking for something a little bit darker...hmmm...will work on that later. ;)

And here's how it looks with the white LED's in all of the blocks

Now while I was taking those last pics I noticed this side of the 5.25" drive bays was in need of something so I made up a cover panel out of black acrylic to make it look better.

Then I decided that the translucent green accents inside weren't as lit up as I'd like from the white LED's so I decided to add a pair of UV LED strips to either side of the top window. It worked but it had the side effect of making the Mayhem's Pastel Mint Green look almost white :O

So back to the light green issue...I had a bottle of Primochill UV Brite Green dye so I decided to squirt a bunch in - I ended up using just about the entire bottle (which dyes a gallon of coolant) but it turned out perfect and now the UV LED's actually make it light up green instead of turn a pasty white color :D

And with the top panel on and UV LED's on:

I like the way the UV LED's light up the top panel etchings purple as well - it sets it off nicely. Next update will be the final update with the final pics!

*drool*

That's amazing looking absolutely love the stuff that was cut for you by TL and that uv green is just right.
