That's an idea, it might work depending on whether or not I can flip the rad over. Or just find a new way to route the tubing to the front rad.

I might be able to get two of those brackets (although they seem pretty expensive for what they are).

 

[Lutfij]

But they fit the bill perfectly - hassle free setup. On the plus side, you're using a Z-tank, correct? Your res is compatible with the bracket/mount since they are also made by Bitspower.

the other side to this story is though ti may be expensive, you could make one by yourself but know this each tool/gadget has its place and right about now, that res mount looks to be your ticket to a cleaner tubing layout.

Who says you can't look good while performing those clocks? 😉

Do you know of a single piece D5 pump housing that's threaded to take a tube res on the other side of it?

I don't have a lot of space in this mid tower case so if I center that res on that radiator I wont have any room for my pump without being out in the open or directly underneath the tube res.

 

[Lutfij]

You can't fit just any tube but you can get it with a tube 😛 sorry - Aquacomputer Aqualis with D5 attachment - won't come cheap $200+

Hey I'm getting the same build!!! 4770 and Hero. I'm getting the 770 HOF though, but that's supposed to be the equivalent of the 680! How's it working for you?

This PC is rock solid and the gaming is great. The 680/770 is a really powerful card, and is really the first video card where I can run my games at the full resolution of my monitor (30in @2560x1600) without turning turning down the aliasing or other quality features.

This case is awesome (review here - http://www.hardocp.com/article/2013/07/07/corsair_carbide_series_air_540_computer_case_review/#.UjymwxAre0I) - I would highly recommend it. Super cool, and the easiest build i ever did.
My only regret is the Corsair 100i cooler. I should have gone for the Corsair 110. While the 100i does cool very well, the software just does not cooperate with Window 8..

Can I ask, what monitor are you using? It sounds awesome! How is the color?

I had some spare time so decided to pull a small mod to my FT03 case.

Back fan does not show so it looks stock from the outside

Just re-did the cable management. THIS is how you do cable management with a NON-MODULAR PSU in an mATX case.
The gtx650 is there as a placeholder until I sort out getting GPUs.
The Cooler is a Coolermaster Hyper T4 with an NZXT and a Rosewill fan in push-pull.
This is the PSU: http://www.islabit.com/wp-content/imagenes/raul/antec-hcg-750/42-antec-high-current-gamer-750.jpg Yes, I hid ALL of the cables.

Other specs:

Upgraded power supply getting ready for SLI, and got the corsair sleeved cables with it.
Specs in signature

 

[nukemaster]

Even the power supply colors match

Nice and clean system.

 

[Onus]

It does look nice. Made me check the RAM in my own system for correct slot usage though; we've got it right...

I just now noticed you can't even see my PC in the pic 'cause I got so much stuff going on here, lol, but here's my dual monitor setup, my X-Box, and my iPad that I keep here for certain purposes.

I'll post a pic of my PC sometime soon-ish.

 

[coastie65]

Need to go back and do a bit more on the wire management: ...

That's a strange design for a heat sink, it ensures you cant do push/pull!

Yeah, it is. I am think about going to a Cooler Master. I had a Zalman CNPS 10x Performa in there, but that thing was huge.
