Hey guys i'm looking to get 'The Water Cooled Verge' from dtek prewc'd case with dd rbx cpu block, eheim 1250 pump, black ice extreme radiator, clearflex 1/2 inch tubing.

This is for my pc listed in sig. I've been doing a bit of research of watercooling, have read the q/a sticky. My question is, I go to a lot of LANs and was wondering how easy it is to drain out the system for transportation purposes. I assume it isnt safe to lay the case on its side with water in it. Also, how exactly do you fill it, through the resovoir, through the radiator?

Also, when installing my computer in that case, should i disassemble the tubing, or just move it aside and work around it?

One sugggestion... Heatercore instead of BIX

You dont really have to drain your system to carry it around. I usually carry it around standing on its base not on its side... Even if you do lay it on side, Just fill up the t-line with as much water as possible so when you lay it on its side huge bubbles wont get in your loop, even if it escapes the tline when you tilt it back up the bubble should come right out if the t-line is at the highest point...

If you use a res just pour water in the res until you can get as much water in the tubing as possible. Rocking the case around helps. Turn on the pump and fill the res as the water level will decrease

If you use a t-line just do the same and when you put in as much as you can, make sure you have alot of water in the t-line and let the system bleed itself by letting it run.

What I did was... I installed the blocks and put the pump, rad in place and measured out how much tubing I would need. AFter that I assembled the system outside of the case and fill/bleed it and then moved the whole thing inside the case
