those are a unnecessary expense and will just add restriction (minor)

/shrugs.

still looks a damn site better and when you do something might as well do it right.

I agree. unfortunately aesthetics reduce cooling efficiency. it's like a pretty woman she may be pretty but not "perform" as well.

I would be willing to wager that the restriction of the two Bitspower 90's is less than or equal to than the loop of tubing otherwise needed to connect the two.

Awesome stuff but Id like to recommend Gigabytes Board for your Phenom 955 instead of the Asus. Nothing against that board but for the Sata connectors, they have some that will be blocked by your card. Just a heads up. Your other stuff is great. I get most of my stuff from PEtras with an occasional dip into Frozen CPU. Sidewinders seemed a little more to me on a few things including shipping.

I've had Asus boards ever since I started building my own PCs. Out of curiosity, which Gigabyte board are you talking about?
