I will be travelling from the states to Europe and I am kind of concerned about checking in my PC. If I empty my liquid cooling system of all liquids and transport it in parts will I be able to bring it as carry on? Has anyone here done something similar?

I have checked the size so I am ok on that end. The only issue is whether or not it is ok to bring liquid cooling components if they do not contain any liquid. I guess they could still be considered as liquid containers?
 
If the loop is empty then you should be fine, so long as your not barred from just outright taking it onboard (it is a massive hunk of metal, so...). Chances are they will only see the thing as a computer, and wouldn't even think there is water in it if its not obvious.
