Im going to ask a very stupid question (there are no stupid questions, just stupid people), so dont flame me.
When water cooling, do you have to completely empty out all the liquid to accomodate new parts? (eg. do you have to empty out the water to install a newer CPU? Same for GPU)

This is why you stick to distilled water
As you can see, from the fluids tested, distilled water comes out ahead, specially when you factor in cost.

Although MCT-40 and Feser 1 don't fair too badly. You should also mention that distilled water usually requires more frequent flushing. Not by a lot, but more none-the-less.

had distilled water + glycol mixed 90/10 in use for over 2yrs without being flushed.
must of been something to do with flushing the loop prior to use and using similar metals
i think those fluids are not worth the money.

For the amount of money your right.
I honestly don't see the need to consistently flush your system unless you notice something odd like algae. A drop of PT Nuke when you use distilled water should prevent that. I use a few drops of 91% alcohol (as I have a Cyclone 120 reservoir) with no ill effects for about a year now.

Oh, I'm not disagreeing with you, just posting a possible pitfall to using straight distilled water. I didn't mean to make it out to be a big deal. You might have to flush your loop out a month or two earlier without additives is all. I personally use straight distilled water. The performance of MCT-40 and Fester just surprised me.

Another noob question. How do you know what tube to put where? I know one is an intake and the other pushes it back out, but like where do you route the tubes (to and from) from teh CPU and GFX?

It's a MCP-350/DDC-1. But I have no idea how that top is gonna perform.do you have the specs on the pump? your only running CPU and Video Card I don't see what the fuss is about.
