Are you going with 2x 480 rads?

Yes. 2 Aquacomputer Airplex Modularity System 480 with black side panels. Added on to my case labs order. Added another hdd cage, optical drive mount with isolation dampers, mount for Aquaero 5.

All the Barrow fittings came in today. All I have to wait for now is the case. Sebastian I did order and receive the EK Dual Pump Top w other day. I couldn't pass it up. I'll keep those pumps as spares and the AC pumps will take there place.

If I understand you correctly - are you saying that you will not use EK PWM attached pumps? Why?

I already had the AC pumps and really wanted the EK pump top. The amount of money I've spent, I thought another $250 wouldn't make a difference to me. I wanted it. The EK pumps won't go to waste. I'll keep them as spares or sell them on eBay.

Besides all this expensive stuff that I bought I can write off.

Great. What a nasty move from ek that dual top is sold only with pumps.

It's a great pump top. It's worth it. Compact and you only need two fittings for it instead of kludging fittings together for two single pump tops. It's really slick looking.

Now I just need the case. The barrow fittings look really nice. They look well made. The nice thing about all this water cooling gear is it will last me a long time. The Supermicro board is more then enough as a basis for a good platform. I can boost it to a 14 core Xeon and 512gb of ram. I can still use the same water block for the CPU too.

Yes ek top is great i built 2 computers on new ek tops and they simply rock. Also for new build I ordered the dual top. I just wish I had an option to use my AC pwm pumps without extra ek pumps.

X10 drx will not fit in any case labs BTW.

Supermicro X10SRA is an ATX form factor motherboard, so it will fit in the SMA8 case that is coming from CaseLabs.
Oh your talking about the motherboard you want to use. Yes your correct. It's a proprietary form factor. You'd have to use a Supermicro case which will sound like a jet engine or design your own which will be expensive. It can be done, but you have to decide if it's within your budget to design and make the case.

I was just about to order X10DRX in Lian Li D8000 and 20 cooling units with external MORA and 8 watercooled single slotted GTX 980ti
