...Actually the coolant is de-ionized water, greenish antifreeze and green ink from a highlighter. The antifreeze tends to cloud up and the low-end HP digital camera doesn't help

.

I spent the last two days getting the system into my case and trying to make it work, had some issues with too short mounting hardware and probably it was also shorted somewhere because it just wouldn't boot up... Right now i'm running my old coolers outside the case (luckily it started working anyway). As soon as I get my lazy ass up from this chair, I'm going to reassemble all the crap to the case and this time use the plastic washers more liberally.

BTW, the pump temps seem to be quite OK when there's a heatercore (even passively) on the system, although the noise level is still fairly high for my taste.
