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

I can build a computer from the start, but yes no experience on the watercooling side...well no to changing coolant myself, as not sure on the whole drain the water out etc....
 
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
 
what ever all that is being done is draingin the loop and then fittign the gpu and the cpu £100seems well over priced m8t. i would never pay that much not much to it even i would do that myself its simple whats being done the hose is there eyc just drain and fill

Righto mate, do i empty out the tank? as in the pic, and drain from the res...where can i get the bottle with the tube do the draining..? after that is it a case of refilling tank & res? regards
 
myself i would tahe teh gfx card out. and then disconnect one of the barbs on the GFX card and drain it into a bucket from that point. then take other bits of one by one draining the fluid as i go along. as for refilling isnt there a blank barb on the top of the res? get a 1/2" barb and some tubing and a funnel on the end and fill that way as the res will clip out of its holders.

This is the back of the pc, see pic...basically i was thinking of cliping out that res, take the top off and empty into a bucket, then pull out the gpu and empty out each tube into a bucket, do i need to empty out the pump part as well?, Similar to this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49EcRP_kpi4&feature=related

yeah looks like a blank barb at top of res, where can i pick up the tubing bottle funnel etc..?
