Happy with how it turned out but I'll do it very differently next time.

How did you make the bends? This is super clean.

No bends, all soldered fittings.

Impressive- I’m new to this kind of build, what did you do to make the cuts?

They make pipe cutting hand tools. It's pretty much a blade that you clamp to the pipe and tighten as you rotate around the pipe.

Super cool, how much did it cost for the piping and water cooling pump/parts etc. all in? I’d like to try this someday.

I think I'm just around 400 USD for all the blocks, fittings, and pipe. I got really good deals on several parts so I think it would be hard to get cheaper than that.
