Very Nice,Well one delivery arrived today, The mainboard.
That's a serious bit of motherboard there
Plan today, fit mainboard, ram, cpu and the very small water block.
In the mean time, me learning to use a camera. Cant get the cpu in focus.

The CPU is in focus in the second photo, it's just the light isn't falling in the right way for the laser etching to be visible. A more oblique angle or changing the lighting angle helps to bring it out.
Thanks, will try that in the future.
Quick update.
Cpu, memory and two SSDs installed, water block fitted, 2 hours to get done. Still final SSD to fit, but not till closer to finish as its in this pc, its being broken at the end.
Now for the real crazy bit, total weight of the mainboard at the stage 3.7 KG or in good old imperial 8.15 pounds.
Shotgun marriage next mainboard to case. Also a delivery arrived (hint) CTX 3
only one delivery left to arrive tomorrow, new PSU.

Well power supply arrived. Evga . nice packaging, Explains the primium price

Back to building, so far everything is fitting, with clearance, next is to consider hardline routing, i also want to include a flow meter.
so open to advice on the next stage.

Is there a dedicated in and out on that
Mono block?
And is it an X flow/Cross flow rad up top?
Personally I would look at flow meter
Some where above the reservoir
That's some nice gear you have in there
Looking forward to seeing it when its
Completed

Lower is inlet, upper outlet, means easy to clear air.
flow meter is a headache..
lost track of how long this has taken, but two pipes in, and i have decided routing.

2.5 metres of hardline, 4 complete failures, 1 split, and a over heat... This is a big learning curve.
8 hours or so later. and 4 metres of pipe abused.
Need some sleep. 4am now.

Looks like your persistence paid off though well done
And nice tube routing wasn't expecting that route does that pump have more than 1 inlet?

8 hours well spent! Looks great. What coolant are you going to use?8 hours or so later. and 4 metres of pipe abused.

Well, that's 8 more hours, 4 metres of pipe, just to complete a stupid little drain pipe that i messed up so many times, completed on the last bit of pipe i had left.
So next i'm going to strip it down, check all fittings, tighten the temperature sensors inlet and outlet on both rads. run wiring for flow sensor fans, usb etc and prepare it for a water test, pump power only.
What coolant are you going to use? I have corsair XL5 in green, but i might change this on the final fill.
