It is done! Made the order, made the payment ... now we play the waiting game 
So I picked the blue one, because it matches the blue xspc leds, and they also had no green ones in my size
Got the xspc led temp sensor, because ... well no particular reason

The blue tubing fits in very well with the blue leds of the waterblock.
The only "problem" I encountered, is my apparent inability to read properly - I ordered the 5.25 bay rez kit and not the photon (cylindrical) rez one.
But in hindsight it fits in better this way and I have enough room to expand later with a GPU waterblock and a second AX240 rad.

Yay for matching blue!
Happy mistakes, eh?
I didn't want a bay res because nobody made one with a white face that would work well rotated 90°...

I made an Imgur album for easy viewing
I still need to order a UV LED for the UV tubing to kick in.
As for performance:
- browsing 30-35 deg. C
- prime95 and Unity Valley running simultaneously, temps peaked at 63 deg. C after about 20 min.
Fans are on 5V low speed and pump also running on 1/5 (Room temp 23 deg C)
I'm not sure if these are good or not, but I'm pleased with the performance/noise ratio.
