This is the second radiator assembled with shrouds and fans and mounted on the roof. Also I have mounted the tubes that are going from the fill ports to the reservoirs.
And here is the roof finally in place. I have hold off on this for a long time, because once I put the roof in place and connect the tubes it will be very hard to remove. And having the roof in place makes it very hard to reach parts of the case.
The reservoirs with tubes going to the pumps and the fill ports. One of the fill port tubes is somewhat kinked. Since it's not part of the loop it doesn't matter much, but I may put coils on both of them anyway.
Both pumps are now in place with tubes in and out. The tubes from the reservoirs were very tricky to put in place because of the way they have to bend. I softened them in some warm water before I put them in place. Coils were definitely necessary here.
The rats nest in the top right corner are cables for the LEDs in the shrouds. It was the easiest way to deal with them. I had a plan to put a window on this side to show of the nice looking pumps. But now I'm not sure I want to see any of this.
Here are the tubes going to and from the top radiator. I have to put these on top, unless I wanted to put holes through the support beams of the case. The net on top has caused me a lot of headaches. Hopefully it will stay in place now, after I put an excessive amount of double adhesive tape on it.

I was not happy with the placement of the rear pump. So I repositioned it and also replaced the bottom part of the shoggy sandwich, which I had completely ruined with holes, with a piece of card board. That made the pump sit slightly lower and a bit more out of the way of the PSU fan. Compare this image with the one above.

Put coils on the fill port tubes. I also put a 45 degree connector going out from the front reservoir. It made the tube bend a bit better and not being crushed against the drive bay holder.
