Curious, what's that black thing at the bottom covering up the PSU wires? I think I wanna get some that for my case :3

I'm actually glad to hear that, as I got them to please my eyes. I do appreciate your input though. It will be that much easier to modify the loop once I get the chipset and mosfets on water, and with the fittings I have enough room to pull out the res/pumps without having excessive tubing like you brought to my attention before. I assure you there is a method to my madness friend...
I hear the criticisms from you and for that I thank you, but no positives or encouragement for the things I did do right. Is there nothing about my rig that your even remotely fond of? Or are you always too correct to congratulate someone else?
Also, to address the need for compression fittings or the lack thereof.... The purpose of this rig is "overkill" and "excess", so "more than what was actually needed" was always the vision I had with this rig. Soon it will be complete, unique, and spanking serious tail....
Pardon me for coming across as hating everything about it, as that isn't the case. I used to like the flashy overkill blue everything look, but I guess I kinda got bored with it and moved onto more industrial and understated styling. It certainly is one **** of a rig, and props for getting it the way you wanted it, but it just isn't a look I myself am fond of.
My loops have always been the epitome of minimalism. I used as short of tubing runs as I could, namely because when I first used the Tygon A-60-G tubing (Which nobody had ever used before in a water cooling loop), I received it as a sample from Saint-Gobain and only got 5 feet of it. I made the most of it and since then haven't really changed a thing. So as it stands, My entire cpu/gpu loop uses just under 6 feet of tubing and that's just the way I like it.
No problem man, and I do encourage the opinions of others to be expressed, but nobody likes to get **** on in their own thread. I appreciate your feedback, and I have incorporated some of your advice. The good news is that the loop tubing total is 8 1/2 feet...so not too bad considering the pumps are rated for 10 feet a piece. I'm less of a minimalist when it comes to the message I want my rig to portray. I have a minimalist laptop with and it turns no heads for looks or for performance. In any event, thanks for the input and for clearing things up for me.
I agree with what Aspire is saying. I think the fittings make the loop to over done and un-needed when straight tubes could have gotten the job done. I think the rubber stuff covering the cables looks fantastic though.
