Hi EveryOne,

Just a quick question I am planning a custom water cooled build...First go on one of these (yes I know i'm crazy but I love it).

I just wanted to know if i'm making any glaring mistakes with my parts and what the best way to drain is....I was thinking of stopCock from output of pump as its going to be the low point in my build?

Heres the parts list and thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Paul

Everything looks pretty good. Best way to drain is have a soft tube coming from the bottom of the res going to a place that hides it, and just have the tube with a valve on the end so that you can keep it closed and just have water drain out of it once you need to drain the system.

if you put this in a good spot in your system, there are fitting taps on both ends so you hook tubing up to it easily. There are also different colors
