Here's what I did to the junction box this weekend:

I got an 8x10 sheet of plexi at Home Depot for $2 and Dremeled it to a 4 3/4in circle. Then I cut out a 4 1/2in hole in the lid, and epoxied the plexi to the underside. Now I can see where the water level is and tell if I have any kind of nasty growth.

I am also planning on putting a red LED in the bottom to light up the water. Does water wetter make water noticeably red or do I need some kind of dye? I don't need any UV dye as I only have a regular cathode light.

Here's a pic of my current rig, aircooled for now, so you can see why I am trying to match colors:

Here it is with the CC off:

So, as you can see, I've already put some effort into creating a unified color theme for my case, and I would like to have water that matches. Any suggestions?

edit: Tell me if the pics are too dark, I really can't tell on this monitor I am using. My main rig is down due to "Unmountable_Boot_Volume." Thanks XP, now I gotta hunt down my install CD so I can repair the dang thing.
