The corrosion only occurs when the copper and the other metal (containing zinc usually) are touching. If they are in the same loop they are fine and will never corrode . . . well, I can't say never, but it won't happen from being in a loop together.
if where talking galvanic corrosion then the metals don't have to touch and it will corrode via the coolant.Quote:

Use of absorbent washers that may retain fluid is often counter-productive.
Good luck on the mod!
if only all those HD's were Hitachi 1tb HD's :( The case looks great now nonetheless. :)
Very cool mod. The red plexi gives it a nice touch. Great mod all together! +rep
