Hey everyone! I've been doing some research for a WC project I'd like to start with my little LanBoy case & was just wondering about disassembly. I mean, say I start with just a CPU block first, along with the Res, pump, & Rad, etc. Then I decide I want to throw another couple blocks in the system for the GPU, chipset, & HDDs. How does one add these additional components & extra tubing without spilling water everywhere?

Is there a way to bleed the system dry or pretty close before taking the system apart?

Sorry for the dumb question, but it was something that kinda dawned on me while doing some preplanning. :confused: :confused:
 
Do you have a t-line? What res do you have? What is your layout?

I found it difficult to drain my system w/o making a mess before I made a t-line especially for it. I keep my res for aethetic and bleeding purposes. Anyway, I just tip my t-line over into a bucket, and then uncap the res to allow air into the loop. That gets about 75% of the water out of the system.

I would suggest draining completely before adding any new components.
 
i actually put my pump, the lowest point in my loop, into a basin and loosten off the inlet hose. i then loosten one of the hoses going into my rad, the highest point in my loop.

i sometimes blow into the tube from the rad to force some more water out of the loop before proceeding.
