how are the temps? if they are good dont worry about flow.

The way you routed the hoses looks nice.

i thought the legs on them cases were a nice design my case rocked about a bit where i had
it but when there where out it made it more stabel.
just out of curiosity did you paint your case black.?
the one i had was a smokey black colour but your one looks like a mat-black finish.

A few questions -

The 90 degree bends, do they affect temperature at all?

Also, as you have your radiator mounted on top of the case, what are you using to raise it off the case roof? looks like a fan mount or something, cant quite tell?

The temps are not affected from the 90º bends as far as I can tell. And what you see in between the rad and the case is the spacer that came with the swiftech kit. It was originally mad to go on the back-side of the case.
