24hour leak tests are at best a feel-good myth.... I mean come on, if it's not leaking after you switched the pump on and pinched the return tube for some pressure stress...(or 20 minutes, for a slow leak), what makes you think 24 hours is going to make it any less likely to start a leak.... and in that case.... why not 48hours,

I'd rather recommend running the rig fully installed with a paper towl neatly placed over the graphics or pci cards that would be in harms way....The reason for it , as you install things you yank and pull on tubes and stuff.... so a freshly installed 24your-tested setup, is as unsafe as one not tested at all.... not so...
