There are some considerations that most users simply neglect when water cooling: Ease of bleeding loop of air and ease of draining the fluid. When you are swapping waterblocks constantly though this becomes one of the primary concerns as air in the rad (yes I am poor and have no chiller) can really screw up an evening.

Heh, I just about forgot to add a drain system when I resetup my "play station" this last weekend. See that hose goin off the counter? That is connected to another on of those PVC valves in which I use to drain the system. That monster T I have right before the inlet seems to have solved my pump locking up issue aswell. I let the water get up to 33C and it still worked fine. not to mention the air bleeds in 10 minutes. best part is the entire system uses just over 20oz of coolant.
I need to get a usable flow meter and plumb it in somewhere. Still need to plumb in the thermal probes. I am goingto give that joy stick mod a shot. I discovered a joystick port built into my laptop and my ECSK7S5A also has a joy stick port built in! I am going ot use one of those to monitor the temps. Certainly not leet accuracy but good enough for what I want to do.
Tear it up pH!
