Mobility of a Water Cooled PC?

[FoldingZebra]

Hey guys, is it safe to move a pc that has a water cooled CPU? Like take it in the car I mean. I'm thinking not, but would love to know for sure.

What kinda' setup is it?

Closed coolers like H50 - no problem, but if it's a custom loop (as I'm assuming) then I believe it's normally drained before getting moved.

A car's vibrations can loosen cables and such, so even if it doesn't cause a leak I wouldn't be surprised if it makes some connections loose, maybe causing issues in the near future.

I'd say drain it.
