Loop Drain - No Drain Port- Advise required

Well title says it all. No drain port.

Got a hardline build need to drain loop. obviously gravity is my friend. Thinking on taking a small dremel to the lowest point on the loop then a container to catch the fluid.

Any other suggestions recommended.

This is basically the loop. Bay Res unfortunately.

The tube going from res to CPU block looks like it's just one 90 bend, so I would cut that around where the cables are connecting to motherboard. Unfortunately, you have no way to drain without sacrificing tube, so you should remedy that now.

im removing the watercooling parts and going AIO cooler as a stop gap until i redo a new full loop that included GPU. wanting thicker rads and a tube res instead so be around Christmas time for that.
