Performed Mods:
Painted insides black
Holes in motherboard for easy cabling
Sleeved all wires

it seems you did excellent paint job and WC set up
I am not so sure about the position of the reservoir, but if it works for you... it works!
nice overall modded rig with great hardware! 8/10 as soon as I can vote...
btw chk my rig......HERE...
At any rate kudos for stuffing all that in there, and keeping it clean.
The radiators are drawing air from the front.
For those of you who have not seen the Swiftech stacked:

All right you got an 8, just post more pics when you have finished up the side.
When it is all buttoned up what are your temps like?
I was tossing around the idea of hooking that rad up with my older qp 320.
Did you add on later or buy it all at once? If the former, what kind of pressure drop and flow rate hits did you take?
I am really quite impressed with this.
I wonder how much 2 effect performance...?
You got an 8 from me for stuffing a crap load of stuff in that case and keeping it clean.
Temperatures: (WCG load / WCG + Gaming)
At 900 RPM 23C/30C delta.
At 1300 RPM 20C/25C delta.
Fans are Scythe Ultra Kaze 2000.
(delta is rise in CPU temp over air intake) (idle = ?. I'm never idle.).
I always crunch, since it has such low priority in CPU so games and other tasks doesn't take any performance hits when running.
In any case, sweet setup. Love the tube routing, rad placement, and the fittings. lol bitspower they cost a lot.
Here's a temp run:
The HDD bays were riveted, so I just drilled them out. In fact, I drilled out all rivets for easier access/modding and painting. And then used black rivets to put it together again.
