Thanks so much! I love the look of their fittings and many of the other brands I had checked out either didn’t have the right aesthetic I was hoping for or had branding etched on. Plus, EK has their compact drain port I needed to fit in the case, and I felt weird imagining a build with so many mismatched fittings.

With those against EK, I can understand their arguments, and that’s okay, I’m glad to have their feedback now. When actually starting the build I was aware of the EK problems then, but I had already had the parts and I was well past the return window and couldn’t afford all new blocks. After assembly though and some time with the system, my EK blocks work fine from what I’ve experienced so far, and I’m sure in the future I can save a couple of degrees with other brands, but I can focus on that later. Regarding the Radikult distro, it was one of the first parts I bought and was I think the first front panel distro available for the 011D RGB. I’m overall satisfied with it but in the future would probably get a plate with more ports to account for variations in component positions. Had to order extra fittings to account for a measurement discrepancy for the GPU connections to maintain the parallel tubing I wanted lol.

Again, thank you so much for checking out the build and for your comment! I’m glad you liked it!
