Got this pump relay thingie from Criticool, www.criticool.com and first of all I thought it'd take another week to get here from Canada, but I got it today in like 4 days. It's a little relay on a pci card thingie that turns your pump on/off with the mobo. Also allows you to attach the pump power cord to the relay INSIDE the case and the plug from the wall goes right into there in the expansion slot!!!! So I was able to put the side panel of the case on without a cord hanging out, lol. Works as promised :D it even has a switch to manually run the pump with the mobo/rig OFF to bleed the system or whatever.
Also got a very slick little water reservoir from www.criticool.com it's very nicely made from quality acrylic.
Back to the relay pci thingie, the Powerplant II, I literally unplugged the pump from the wall measured the length necessary to reach Powerplant II, cut the cord, stripped the black and white wires, put black in HOT and white in NEUTRAL, tightened the screws, pushed card into pci slot and plugged new wall cord into expansion slot on the rear.....DONE 3 minutes TOPS!
