It'll be fine, leave it leak testing at least overnight.

do i just lay it all out flat on a woktop and leave it running?? if so, how do i make sure i dont cause a leak when i fit it...

sounds good apart from the fact that ive got too much to do on my pc so i cant leave it turned off for more than an hour or two

well, im going to go fit it in my case, just gonna have to have a lot of tissue handy... would you tighten the nutts up by hand or go as tight as you can get with pliars?

dont use tools ! lol
too tight is odten as bad as too loose, specialy with the type of fittings you have.

if you have work to do on ** PC mate, leave it til tomorrow. honestluy its best to take your time otherwise you could have a VERY expensive problem

thats the problem though... i always have work to do on it, and if im not doing anything then its buisy doing something for me lol, its on 24/7 365 days a year.
