10/10
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, :).

yes it is real copper pipe! ;) I get the bends right whith patiency and I have to try a few times before it can fit ..

Gawsh, that must have taken ages! But it makes it look reallll nice. Much better then twisted up pipes :) Props to you for the cable management too.
ps. good job on the photography, what camera do you use?
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?
Thank you all for your comments! I also hope that copper participates in the dissipation, but I have not tested with standard pipe to verify precisely if there is a gain in heat dissipation.
But in my opinion it can not hurt! :)
tres bonne, messieur seinron!.. c'est une magnifique idee & elegant.. j' apprecie votre efforte avec les pipes.. mon premier choix n'est pas les Thermaltake cases, mais votre mod a transformer ce case.. felicitations!
pardon me if my french is bad, it has been a while since i last wrote french (back in school).. really wanted to appreciate your effort and thought that typing in french would emphasize it..

Merci beaucoup ! c'est tres gentil de votre part !
your French is better than my English! I used google translation to make me understand!
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.

great build, looks awesome with the copper tubes :)
Edit: I see you have 2133Mhz Dominator, could you maybe share which bios you are using on the Sabertooth, and what timings do you use for the memory? I've think I have the same memory but I can't get it to run @ 2133Mhz, it won't boot and reverts back to 1866Mhz. Thanks :)
Nice work on this build,, It shows time and thought was put into it,, When I'm not able to build right now, it's good to see this type of work in the gallery. Hope to see more
Great pipework.I love your design. What kind of pipe bender did you use? What is the radius of your bend, it looks pretty tight?
The smallest hand tool to bend 12mm tubing that i could find has a 36mm radius. Anything smaller than that and you need a big and complicated CNC bender.
You pushed this thing to near perfection and deserve the highest grade I ever gave and that's 9/10.
EDIT after seeing the whole mod section I decided to change my vote from 9 to 10/10. You are one of the nine guys I gave a perfect score of 10/10 after viewing all mods from page 1 to page 30. This case mod is something you can truly be proud of.

Nothing else to say other than "just awesome!"

you match the black and the copper nicely
umm.. maybe little bit light would be great

10/10 from me... =D
What are you using to connect the tubing with the blocks?
