I got a Thermaltake Aquarius II kit for Xmas, and as I've never water cooled I was left with a lot of questions after looking it over.

Mainly, how do you drain a system like this? I would be using this in my main computer, which goes to LAN parties occasionally. I don't want to have to build up a second LAN rig because I can't move this, but am worried about transporting a computer filled with water...

I can see how you fill it with water, but how do you drain it entirely?

Also how well do these tubes stay on? Should I worry about transport?

Lastly, the pump on this thing looks weak. Its rated at 22 or so GPH, and most of the others I've seen are around 300.


Lastly, any tips on setup, placement, etc? I don't have a thermaltake case, and its a bit cramped.
 
Usually you don't drain a WC setup to move it across town to a LAN, if you have to drain it then it's a bad setup. I've dragged my full setup back and forth between western New York and New Hampshire at least a dozen times. No leaks, no spills, no worries.

A pump that moves 22 GPH is not something that belongs in a computer. If that number is correct, you will fry your CPU.
