I've been getting impatient lately, so after a beer and a cigarette I decided to throw together what I could and set up the CPU + NB + SB loop for the meantime until I get a radiator and pump for the GPU loop.
Anyways... here's how it went:
Stripped the mobo and installed my M4 screws for the hard mount assembly:
Installed the CPU + NB waterblocks:
Added the SB blocks and tubing:
Added water:
Add two HD5850's:
And 2x74gb Raptors & 2x 320gb ES Seagates:
It's a bit of a jumble with wires at the moment, but I'll be concentrating on wire management once the GPU loop is set up.

Yup, he owns the sickest paint job ever to find it's way on a MM case. And this build is just amazing, I can't compliment it enough.. keep up the great work Sneaky!

Not to mention he's sitting on a pretty sick Skulltrail. Probably the only system I would move from Amd to intel for.

I really like the fan detail color. that silver looks fantastic against the green.

Did you know that AMD had a competitor to Intel's Skulltrail codenamed Quadfather? It was basically the same idea, enthusiast dual socket Opteron board.. or maybe it was Quad socket hence the Quadfather name lol.. but I can't remember anymore, and I used to have a page bookmarked on it but I can't find it.. Either way just thought I'd share.

A skulltrail is still all I'd change over for, not that I would want to. I wouldn't mind a tyan board and dual opty's.

Trust me, I remember the Quadfather AMD setup from way back when... I've wanted to own a SMP setup since a buddy of mine was running a dual P3 933 coppermine server for SOF II... and it finally came true with this Skulltrail build
Anyways, over the next couple weeks, I'm going to be doing some additional case modding for a couple extra grommet pass-thrus for PSU cables, etc, as well as re-sleeving/crimping some cables on the PSU to the proper lengths for what I need in the U2-UFO case
Also just ordered some new tubing and barbs - switching over to 3/8"x5/8" masterkleer tubing due to the 1 1/8" bend radius compared to the 1 3/4" radius on the tubing I have now due to some of the bends that I need to accommodate for with the SMP board and the way I want to route the tubing for aesthetics sake.
Yeah yeah, I know, it's 3/8" tubing, but it shouldn't pose a problem when running dual loops with a D5 in each loop, as well as using high-flow Bitspower 3/8" barbs.
Pics to come when the goods arrive.
edit: BTW AMD's Quadfather wasn't really competition for Skulltrail... it was a precursor to Intel's Skulltrail platform, and a breakthrough in consumer-based SMP computing for enthusiasts rather than strictly for server/enterprise use

50ft of 3/8" ID x 5/8" OD x 1/8" wall x 1 1/8" bend radius Masterkleer PVC tubing arrived today:
I hadn't ordered the Bitpower 3/8" barbs yet, so I tried fitting the tubing over the EK 1/2" barbs that I already have... it goes on tighter than 7/16" ID tubing, and the tubing ID is the exact same as the barb ID... so I think I'm gonna keep the EK barbs and run 3/8" tubing over 1/2" EK barbs

Dual socket systems just make me happy! Haha, the pure power! The build is looking nice! It's always nice to save money ain't it Sneaky?
