It seems to me that you are not rly experienced with computers, or atleast not with watercooling. Are you going to change the coolant yourself? Have you build the system yourself? Also, the color doesn't matter. It's up to your personal preference

From what I understand he's only asking about coolant, but if he means to change the blocks aswell then I'm thinking 100 won't be enough.

okey sorry, i have the computer above, which is currently a 8800 ultra(watercooled) and a QX6600 cpu(watercooled), i have upgraded to a 5870 with waterblock already installed and a qx9770..i basically need these installed, so hence draining the liquid and change over to my new components and put liquid back in, and was looking to maybe change the coolant to a UV color, and was wondering the best one for my system...regards
