    Thanks.

    I believe they pull through the rad, and the top of the Keg has a large wire mesh rectangle on it. I believe that is where the air will exit?

    Can't say for sure yet...

    ahhh right... I like that much better if it works as you say it does, pulling air in through the rad and then exhausting out the top. The way my desk is arranged the fans world be blowing at me if the fans pushed out the side.

    Thanks Talon

    Making full use of my self sealing fittings, I decided to fire the Keg up, even befor my mobo is togeather. (Us McMASTER-CARR boy's just got it like that.)

    I had the 5 micron filter in the loop too, and successfully cooled it for about 2 hours. I made a newbie mistake and didn't order the teflon tape to put between the fittings, and the filter. It had a slow leak, but just setting the trash can filter on a paper towel, was good enouigh to absorbe the slow drip.

    SELF NOTE: Must buy teflon tape to make the filter seal against the fittings.

    My rad, pump, and lines are getting burped at the time of this posting.
    I currently am just running straight distilled water right now.

    Both lights work, and no leaks of any kind inside the Keg. The unit works as advertised.
