Clean build, cable and water tubing management is exceptional.

Thanks for the Comments!

Thanks for the remarks fellas. I thought the colors were just a little "fruity", but the overall look was pretty unique so I left it. There were no regular lights in the system, it was all UV. And JUDAS3, I got all the lighting (including the plasma ball) from Xoxide.
