So no difficulty seeing air bubbles thru the clear tubing while getting the air out? 

Mine was suppose to arrive today but I screwed up and used my PO Box as a UPS shipping address.  It's out for delivery but will head back to the office after customer hours so am told I can't get it until tomorrow.

Was thinking of distilled water with food coloring but if the clear tubing stains that won't work well.

Doggie's guide it very helpful if you have no water cooling experience, make sure you pay attention to the water flow around your setup the guide has pictures just follow them.

I like having my cooling rig running from my psu not my C1 as I could run the pump and get the fluid sorted without any C1 issues.

As far as air bubbles go, the main thing is read the guide filling the pump res while holding it above the C1 and Rad means you can get a lot of air out at the start, then you just need to cycle the power a few times as the res can empty out into the rig as the air comes out. I think I refilled mine 4 times or so ( As i was using Distilled water its not that messy with proper fluid I would use a filler bottle).

Don't forget to rotate your rad, I rotated my C1 a few times to get some of the last bubbles out some were quite big.

Oh Doggie mentioned we should use PC cooling fluid as the Distilled water has issues over the long term. I am ordering that as I write this.

Oh and finally the air bubbles should end up in your res so as long and you rotate you main item's around, any air pockets will get back to the res/pump.

good luck
