Your thoughts regarding my first sleeving and custom cooling loop?
I intend to dismantle it in a month or so and paint the heatsinks. Honestly though, since the sleeving job was not in my mind prior to the build starting it was not a consideration. I'm going to wait until I am ready to form my base/PSU shroud.

Titan X wasn't out when I built the rig, and the 980's really seemed to be going toe-to-toe with the first gen Titans. In re storage.... I like to keep my entire Steam library installed... just in case I get a wild hair up my buttocks to play the original AC.

I've got the same chassis as you, 780T. I absolutely love it, mostly because the cable management is so easy with this chassis because of the ample room behind the motherboard tray. Give it go, you can fit more than you think back there! :D
Otherwise, your rig is looking great, have fun! :)
P.S. I noticed you have 4 SSDs in Raid0, I thought I should say after 2-3 SSDs in Raid0, you are not gonna see that much of a performance increase so right now you're only risking data failure by having 4 SSDs in Raid0... 4 times the usual amount!

Love the case myself... best one I've had airflow wise by a long shot. Believe me, I am using up some space in back of the MB... by return tube runs back there, and I have the drain valve at a junction in that line. The RAID0 is really just implemented for much the same reason people used to use it... to achieve a larger drive at a lower cost. I'm not really worried about data loss as all work related materials I access via RDC. Even when I am working on stuff off of that network I have backup running off the array. If it dies I am out a chunk of change to be sure, but honestly I haven't had a drive die out on its own for nearly thirteen years or more.
Thanks for lookin' out though, I appreciate the LinusTech referral as I have a tremendous amount of respect for what's produced on that site.

So after far too many months and far too many restarts; my most recent rig is complete (or at least put together and plugged in the rest of the world again). I tossed the clunker together last October and ran it for a few months, but shortly after the new year I dismantled it to embark on the task of my first custom cooling loop and custom sleeving job.
For a variety of reasons this took almost five months... not the least of which was me changing my mind on something (i.e. put in a flexible tube loop and then changed my mind and went to rigid). Anyway, let me know your thoughts. The bends aren't competition worthy... nor is the wire management, but for a fist go at both I am fairly pleased. I've named the rig Hyperbole.
Specs are as follows:
CPU: Intel i7 5820K
MB: ASRock X99 Extreme4 ATX
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400
Storage: 4x 500GB Samsung 840 EVO (2TB RAID-0) & Seagate 6TB 7,200 RPM (for additional storage)
GPU: 2x EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 in SLI
Chassis: Corsair Graphite Series 780T
PSU: EVGA 850W G2
Display: 2x Acer GN246HL 144Hz
Cooling: EK Water Blocks, PrimoChill rigid tubing, and PrimoChill Rigid Revolver fittings
