On weekends...all of them were running. Our goal was to make the lights in the barracks flicker at least once. We accomplished that goal.

it's not water...it's non-conductive liquid...basically anti-freeze. Mine sprung a leak...twice...and kept running with hot pink coolant everywhere.

Yeah. As long as you use the Jelly stuff they send with the kits on your major components its ok if you spring a leak and catch it. With the cases out there now though and air cooling system's, air is the best way to go if you ask me.
