As I've been reading over pOPe's 'DnA - revisited' thread, I happened to notice that completely by accident, it turns out that all the PCBs in my build will be black (which fits well with the color scheme).
I also today finally got my WC loop run:
pulled out of the case:
and filled:
Now it's running as paint dries, to hopefully pull out all the air bubbles. I gotta say, I didn't really anticipate the actual filling of the loop to be such a pain, though it was probably made much worse by me not having a fill point; I used the "bottom" port on the res..while turned upside-down, so I had not much leeway at all in between top-ups.
EDIT: also, w00tz! 10 pages!
