HAI GUYS.
This is going to be my build log, but for now I'm just gonna post pics of parts as they come in. I won't have all parts for another few weeks, but felt like posting pics anyway.

Rad.

Gorgeous quality, and it's enormous

P.S. Please excuse the crappy camera. Not everyone is rich enough for a nice SLR

P.P.S. Pics of fans. They are blurry because I forgot I didn't have macro mode on

Mmmmmm SR1, sexy sexy, looks like a 480mm yeah?

You can still use the shrouds, both in push (as the rad as an intake) or pull (exhaust)

And naturally the CPU 370, such a sexy block, i love mine.

Indeed

Loving the x-silents, they really are an awesome low noise fan.

Indeed they are. Just fired them all up on the radiator for a test and they're amazing, the only noise was from the wind whistling past the fins

Oh. Pretty. These look familiar. ;O

I also had dust filters on the rad, maybe they caused it...
Could also be because I was holding it next to my head

How you mounting it? I've seen a few RV02/FT02 builds where they've mounted it just above and parallel to the rad.

I'm thinking I'll hang it from the side of the PSU, but I'm not sure how that will look/fit. I'll probably just play around with it until I'm happy.
The basic Idea I'm going for is to have all the tubes up the back of the case, to avoid long, ugly tube runs and mostly because I can.
