Obviously there is also a kit for intel mounts. Included is coolant, a radiator, 240 mm slim and two 120 mm fans with a built-in addressable RGB LED.

Had horrible experiences all around with using just the aforementioned ingredients. PT nuke and distilled water. All bitspower fittings here to and it simply destroyed my quick disconnects. One of the most expensive fittings to say the least, but if you were to look inside it and see it has what looks like a stainless like spring inside them and that was just corroded and rusted.
Switched back to your said "expensive" coolant and viola never again an issue and all fittings are perfect as the day they were installed.
I just belief you wouldn't want to put some cheap "alternative" to your already (most likely) expensive build. Any one put regular unleaded in their Ferrari?
I'm with Arctucas..... I used distilled water and PT Nuke for 6 years without issues.... other than poor fan and radiator choice anyway...lol No buildup in the loop, no rusted fittings....
If your "stainless steel" rusted.....it wasn't stainless steel to begin with.
Demineralised water and ~10% Automotive Coolant
I considered this, but everyone I asked said to use distilled water and PT Nuke....which I had no issues with over a 6 year period.

Sorry to hear of your unfortunate experience.
My experience, on the other hand, has been non-problematic. I have had the same Bitspower Shining Silver barb fittings in my radiator and pump reservoir for about ten years, and have seen no corrosion. If the spring was rusted, it probably was not stainless.
Also, I would use a higher octane grade of gasoline in the Ferrari, but not waste money on rocket fuel.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Love it.
