One more pic. with fans installed on front of the case:

Then I placed everything together and run test. Shh problems, air trap didn't work too good, the water in trap was bubling a lot and that air bubbles made a lot of noise in my pump. How can this be, my older trap worked great and this one doesn't the positions of all the components were pretty much the same. The only change I made that I removed T junction, and use the desing I saw in procooling article about cooling tech. The pics of air trap positions that should work, show the air trap desing I used.
Ok, so I removed the trap, put T junction in and just use hose for trap to the top of case (sorry no pisc), filled in water and turn on the pump, and that time it worked air did get out completly in about 30min and the pump was running silent again.
So beacause of the gheto looks I again took everything apart and start working again.
This is the result so far: Rad with shroud soldered on

I displaced the pump a little more from the rad (just so it doesn't interfere with graphic card)

And last but not least my new block. This is older pic with lexan top, that just didn't work always some small leak first at the side and after I fixed that at one of the connections.

So I gave up on lexan top and used good old soldering, I also made new copper connections with inlet designed like nozzle.
I have to finnished lapping so the pics are cooming tomorow.
That it for now.
