Beautiful, the copper, and the colour scheme gives it a real steampunk look, yet it is clean and modern. Is that Real copper pipe?, if so, how did you get the bends right? As just a millimetre off can cause things not fit. As always, the thermal armour mobo cover looks good,

I love it when people use copper for liquid cooling. Looks great and clean. Everything I would expect from a copper build.
Pictures store that meta-data. It says a Sony DSC-HX100V.

Awesome build! gave ya a 10/10 something i have always wondered when i seen one other build use Copper pipes. I wonder if it helps cooling at all as some heat can dissapate through the pipe's before even hitting the rad?

One thing that kinda bothers me is how the Copper will look in about 5-6 months from now...
All the copper heatsinks i have in my GPUs look green-ish and aged by now (like HD4870)

I use "Belgom Chrome" polisher for the pipe, and this one makes a protective layer on copper which prevents from oxidation. this is a friend who repaired the car that gave me the trick

Wow, your case mods and water cooling is AMAZING. Maybe when I do custom water cooling for my system, I can get you to design the water cooling arrangement.
lol...
