This is probably the biggest n00b question, and it has been really hard for me to ask, but now that I've built this thing, and it's been running for almost a month......I want to make some changes to it.

How the heck do I drain it? i guess that's one thing I didn't plan on while putting it together. :p

Put the whole thing in a huge bucket and disconnect the tubes to the radiator and let all the water fall down to the bottom into the bucket. Than tip/shake/mave/whatever the whole box around till all the water is out. I think that would be the easiest way.
 
jsut unhook the outlet of the pump and hook a small piece of tubing on the outlet, point it towards a bucket or sink or something and trun the pump on. It will squert all the water out :)
 
Bad idea shellshock. Doing so would make the pump run dry or without enough water which is not good for the pump.

I would recommend just move the computer so that the fittings to the heatercore are over a bucket and then take them loose. And as was said above, you will want to tip it from end to end to get more of the water out.

I put a t with a drain valve on mine which makes it really easy in that I don't have to remove any tubing.

BTW, nice stand and heatercore mounting you have got there. Looks OK.
