Some goodies arrived in the week, mixed emotions really!



The Bitspower fittings look awesome, as does the EK block, but the Enzotech cpu block seems a bit off what I was expecting, its a lot darker, akin to the bitspower black sparkle fittings rather than the shiney silver I was expecting it to be. It also is going to cause me some issues I was hoping to avoid, its just not quite big enough to take 1/2" ID compression fittings, so its going to have to be barbs, was hoping to be able to keep everything the same throughout, but it seems some things just weren't mean to be!



Test fitted both the shining silver and the black sparkle bitspower barbs to the Ek block to check out which I preferred.

Shining silver:


Black Sparkle:


Won't be fitting the block to the 4870x2 until I've had the card running on air, just to check it works before messing with it, also need to decide wether to go for shining silver or black sparkle fittings, and find some more suitable fittings for the cpu block, thinking of primochil ghost barbs but I'm really not certain on them.

Case is almost finished over with the guys at watercooling uk, it was ready for posting back to me but I requested some last minute changes, figured I'd need a new plate for the bottom of the case to fit a 240mm rad without leaving a gap in the bottom of the case. I've not had any more photos from them yet and their connection is being messed around by bt from what I can gather.

Should have just about everything back and ready by the end of next month, just going to need a cpu and some ram to get the rig running after then. Going to be a bit of tweaking and tuning after then, still on the look out for some bitspower blocks for the p6t deluxe, and no where has any 250mm EK multi option reservoirs in stock which could hold things up, fingers crossed!

Appologies for the enourmous photos when full size, have just got home after a long drive and am not feeling all that grand lol
