Please give us more details about the operation, like:
How much water "drinks" weekly this system, or how much and often are the refills needed?. Is it working 24/7 or how many hours daily? What kind of load has the pc, Seti? folding? or just normal work with plenty of cpu idle time? How much rises the temp after several hours of heavy load?

I've only had this setup going for just over a week, I havn't topped it up in that time, I estimate I may get almost month between re-fills, at least during the winter anyway (in southern hemis). In summer I think 2-3 weeks max will be the top up periods.
The machine only operates 6-7 hours a day, more on weekends, and about 50/50 idle:load ,websurfing, games ect
During my long Freelancer sessions the temp rises by a degree or so.
