Anything else I need to buy to get my WC'ing up and running? + a question on draining

[Felix E]

Just wondering if anyone can tell me if I have missed anything crucial off my shopping list for first-time watercooling!

So far I have:

Hydor L30 II pump - 1/2" fittings
Thermochill HE120.2 rad - no barbs
Thermaltake universal CPU block - 1/2" barbs
DD clear res - 1/2" barbs

(it's all dated I know but cost me less than £60 second hand!)

This is in my shopping cart:

2x Feser one cooling fluid (blue) 1ltr
9 feet of Masketleer 7/16" ID tubing
1 pack of 10 3/8" plastic hosing clamps
2x G3/8" O-Ring seal to 1/2" HoseBarb

and a lapping kit for my conroe and block.
I'm also going to order some cable ties and UV cold cathodes from OcUK.

Anything else I need or should change? I'm only chilling the CPU at the moment.

Oh one thing I wanted to ask, how would I easily drain this system, (I don't want to have to turn it upside down!) do I need to buy something for this purpose.

Also, if I had the WCing up and running for a month or so and then drained the Feser 1 out to move it but kept the coolant in their bottles, could I put it back in again?

Thanks,

Felix

cheers guys - shopping cart updated with a DD delrin fillport and a t-piece, plus I changed to the metal hoseclips.

Thanks,

Ah I've already bought it from the mm - only cost me £17.50 - I didn't want to spend too much initially as it's my first attempt at WC. Hopefully if all goes well I will upgrade parts as I go, possibly rad and pump first followed by better cpu block and a block for my 8800gts - those are expensive though!

The guy that sold me the block said:

"I used it with a clocked pentium 640 3.2Ghz at
4Ghz and it was 32 degrees celcius at load, 28 at idle."

Seems decent enough to me!

Thanks for comments,
