Is this all I need or am I missing anything? And is there anydirections or tips anyone has for installing this in a Thermaltake armor case?
 
Reseviour (spelling) or a T-Line to fill your loop. I got the TDX+D5 combo and a BIP2 rad. i am VERY pleased. I got a 10*C drop in temps from my Thermaltake Aquarius kit. (1/4'' to 1/2'' ID tubing makes alot of difference)

i dont know about installation in a Tt Armor case, but be sure your fans will fit on the rad together.

other than a res or a T-Line, i think your set.

I would buy about 12 feet of tygon, its nice to have extra.
I would buy like 20 clamps they come in handy, you probably only NEED 9 or 10 though.

and what you picked out looks good :)
 
uv red pc ice looks orange/pink(more orange though) under uv light.
everything looks good. i would buy worm drive clamps instead of those plastic pos clamps though.
 
Worm clamps really are not necessary, although I use some on the CPU and GPU, with the new perfect seal fittings. CPU Killer at DD suggests they can be used without any clamps at all. Trust me, the fit is tight. So tight, I had to cut the tubing and get the remnant off with needle nose. I do use the plastic ones on the pump and rad ( a leak in any of those would be non harming), and have had zero problems.
 
something that is easy to fill... im not too sure on that right now, because im having an issue with my res as we speak. lol
 
so hows it looking? I want to make sure everything is right before I order it I dont want to waste my money.
