they sell dye for watercooling that will not stain your tubes, i would check that out. the food coloring will almost for sure stain your tubbing. i would not do it.

When I first started watercooling, I looked into this same thing. I wanted red water. Everything I read said DON'T do it.

The reason is that most food coloring contains sugar and other additives which will cause all sorts of bad things for the system and pump.

ok thanks no, food coloring then, i'll just get some dye

BTW, what is the cheappest anyone has seen the Danger Den RBX for?

You probaly won't find the RBX for under $50. It's to new to find it real low right now. Make sure to order the Jet Kit for the RBx also, it's a really good investment.

It's a CPU Water-block, meant to cool Socket 478s and AMDs. The good thing about an RBX is that you can switch it's compatibility simply by switching the top plates and using different mount plates. No need to buy anotherblock when you jump camps.
