Running a leak test, checking for drips, didn't expect an entire hose to come off its barb. Lesson... Make sure those barbs are of high quality or even better, compression fittings which mine were not. PC was off thankfully and the only thing to get wet was the fans and radiator and the fans were not on either.
Just hope this stain comes out, leaving PC to dry properly for a few days before continuing. Have fixed the leaking tube, I hope.

I learned to leak test after my first leak as well. As for staring at it for 24 hours I'd rather do that then have to wonder if I missed even a tiny leak since the hoses soften up a bit when the system has been run for a while and the water heats up. Personally I take the radiator fan off, lay the radiator on a hot pad (with plastic between) and turn it up to high to heat the water as it runs. Call me over cautious, but doing it this way I have never had a leak since.
A small reason i wont be getting Liquid cooling for my system anytime soon, ill simply get a better rated fan system
Right now ive got this right now http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ.....82E16835103057
and my system has NEVER peaked above 95 degrees Fahrenheit, only the Video card hitting about 125

I really like the look and the silence you can get from watercooling. Its each to their own though! As you can see though, watercooling can be a pain in the arse to get right sometimes! Been modding this case here and there for a week after work. It would be up in a night if it was air :)
Both have major ups and downs for each other
PROs
Air cooling: quick installation, effective cooling, and relatively easy to maintain and low price
Liquid cooling: Quiet, Very Efficient cooling on even big rigs, little to no maintenance required
Cons
Air: noisy, can get clogged with dust and hair after a while even WITH cleaning, can sometimes prove ineffective at bigger cooling jobs.
Liquid: more expensive than air, if leaks can cause massive computer damage and or fire, not the easiest to install.

Its not see through case but it has a fairly large window,
