i think its definitely something to look into...
up till now i have watercooled my system with clear medical grade PVC piping. that stuff handles the high temps.

but now im going to use some silicone tubing in my system aswell, i want minimum force applied to my cpu waterblock, and dont want hard drive and pump vibrations carried down a pipe.

one thing is for sure, im definitely going to boil my water beforehand, let it cool, add the antifreeze.

i dont feel like googling it atm, but maybe its possible to get away with sterilizing the system at just above 66 degrees celcius.
pretty much everything can handle that.
