Clean looking build, I am jealous.

Okay, watercooling nerd here needs more details on the setup.
And that looks like primo chill tubing. I hope it isn't -- or it should be okay depending on your biocide choice. I think the plasticizer leaching was a reaction with PTnuke, but the company won't disclose what the problem is.
I have the same block on my 7970
It's actually the first time I've used a full-cover block on a video card. I've been a blind believer in swiftech's universal blocks, but mosfet cooling can be problematic on some cards.

Just curious, I take it you had to remove the entire case for the video card to install the GPU block? And do you still have to use thermal paste when you put the CPU block on? I imagine you do, just curious if you did and if it was different from conventional cpu fan paste.
Nice build btw.I was going to do water cooling on mine, but the extra money just wasn't worth it, and there really isn't a performance boost.
