That looks great! I'd like to introduce liquid cooling to my own machine too. (For no other reason than that it looks cool!)
I don't know how true this is, but I've heard coloured liquid can eventually clump up in the tubes, and need flushing out? Is that a concern that you came across?
Thanks very much! And yeah, I also did mine partly for the looks :)
Yes, especially kinds with particles suspended like the one I chose -- they can require heavier maintenance since you may have to clean the blocks when you switch out the fluid (and often require changing fluid more frequently) than just a clear solution would. Either way, both would require flushing and replacing, it's just a matter of frequency and if any extra cleaning is involved.

I didn't know you'd have to clear it either way, I had assumed that water only would be a permanent fixture - but clearly not!
Either way, I'll probably implement this before the year is out! Thanks for the info!
Not a problem!
