Thats gonna be a very nice rig when its done.:D
Looking forward to seeing a build log too.
I have to disagree with buliding loop outside the case to leak test because you still will have to test when its all fitted into case.
Just a few reasons that i think it makes it not worth while.
It puts stress on connections while trying to fit it into case in one go.
You might still have to disconnect one or two parts just to get into the case which makes testing beforehand kinda a waste of time imo.
You would have to fit the blocks to both gpus and then try fit them without breaking them.Think of the weight of gpu/block and rads when full of water.
With your case i presume you will be passing the tubing through the gromets which unless your a magician it will mean having to diconnect something to allow you to pass tube through
Although if your a bit weary about it since its your fist time doing a loop i suppose connecting a few things together outside the case could help with confidence.
Have you planned the loop order yet?
I'm curious as to where the 360 and especially where the 480 rad are going to go.0 -

Have you watercooled before? Because most of what you're saying is wrong.
If he does it right, he won't put any more stress on the connections than the pump would (which is nothing in comparison to what they're designed for)
Opening one of the connections to get everything in the case would render the whole thing pointless, so that's not an option.
He won't have to leak test in the case. Well, not for 24 hours. I'd say watch it for an hour and you're good.
The blocks would be fitted to the GPUs outside the case. Trying to fit them on when the GPUs are already in the case would be... nightmarish. (It is possible, and I've done it, but it's really not something you want to do)
Both of those rads can fit internally (with modding), though that's a point: are either of your rads going to be external? If yes, what game4it said is rendered a bit more applicable. :P0 -

Yes i have done a couple of loops before.
I have built my loop on my desk while modding case and i cant see how its possible to move sli/xfire gpus with blocks,his res and pump combo,cpu block and two rads from ouside the case to inside without disconnecting anything (even without hose not having to be passed through anything)
Even if this is posible to do without messing it up,getting the right lenght of hose without it being to long or short and knowing if the bend radius is ok would be a pain imo.
Each to there own i suppose but for me i would rather build loop in the rig and leak test from there.
