I didn't want another cord coming from my computer so I decided to wire the pump into the PSU. I looked at relays and such but came up with a solution that met all my needs. I wanted to be able to run the pump while the computer was off also I wanted to be able to unplug the pump if needed. Lastly I wanted the computer not to be able to turn on if the pump was unplugged. Here's what I decided on.
This allows me to turn the pump on/off with the psu switch, this allowed me to fill and bleed the system pretty easily. I can unplug the molex connection to remove the pump if needed. If the molex is unplugged, the green wire going to the m/b is broken and won't allow the computer to be started. This mod was pretty easy to do and very cheap as I had all the parts laying around.
Next I got out my Spiral Wrap and Conformal Coating and did a nice mixing of the two.
After drying I did a test run with the UV CCFL's.
