Was in the process of putting my system together in a huge rush. I couldn't find a funnel so I couldn't fill the system through the t-line. This morning, I remembered I had a syringe (no, not that kind.. it's without a needle for my guitar humidifier). I filled up the system, turned it on to get the pump going and the water flowing, and then I did the proverbial "OH SH**AKE" as I saw a decent-sized puddle at the bottom of my case. Had no idea where it was coming from, but felt water on the top of the 6800. Found one leak springing from the CPU block. Not sure if it'll still leak so I need to take it out, but the clamps weren't as tight as possible. Not sure if video card is screwed up. If I plug the monitor into it, the monitor knows it's plugged in but shows nothing. I don't see how the motherboard could have gotten screwed up, but I have a long day ahead, maybe even week as I give these components some drying time. I'll be kicking myself for a while after this...
