Ok ok, calm down.

Billa, I cant set the pump Inlet, I don't think, because for the 3 taps to work, you have suck a full stream of water to the pump, if there is any major air in this, the pump will stuck pumping properly where the air gets to it.

The reason for the Elbows on the outlet side of the pump it because there was no way I could get it to get to the RAD.

The RAD is a 5cm Thick Little Arse from Cathar. Full copper, It just looked a bit shabby after all my playing with it (Was never painted before) so it received a quick coat of "Chrome" spray paint.

The Fan is tucked away in the front bezel, with a shroud. Both the metal in the front of the case and the plstic have been cut away to allow airflow.

Bill, would a sweeping elbow be good enough for the Inlet rather than a sharp elbow?

I'll also be either getting rid on an Elbow on the GPU block and using better tubing, or getting a 45 degree adaptor to screw into the block, rather than a 90 Degree one. (Though at my local truck plae they want 5USD for just the adaptor

)

The entire case setup has been based on compactness, not asethetics.

I shall have a look at the getting the pump aligned in the other direction, so that it lines up with the 3 tap system and only needs 1 elbow on the outlet. However this may not work lenghtwise, and also it might be hard to get a decent pipe run from the far RAD barb to the CPU block.

Also I might get my hands on a metre or so of Tygon, which I think *should* be able to do some of the curves my EHEIM stuff couldn't.

I got rid of the air leak, it was in the middle tap, one of the epoxied joins must not have been quite right. A bit of silicon has fixed said problem.

As I said on OCAU, I'll be redoing a lot of it in a little while, this time with decent strong epoxy instead of shit cheap stuff for a start.

EDIT: Actually is was all just a plot to give Bill a heart attack
