Some advice - Probably done the wrong thing

Ok I had to go to the US for 3 Months so I put my Computer with watercooling (See sig for what I have) in storage for the 3 months. I am going to be back home in around 1 week and will want to use my Computer again. Now can I just hook it up and turn it on and play or should i dump all the water and refill. Or do I have to go the whole hog and take all the blocks off and clean them etc?

I know I should have emptied the thing but was faffing around trying to get things together for the trip.

Thanks.

empty, nah, let it run for several hours without any power connected at all? yes. moving could have knocked a tube a little loose or something quite easily. if you can be bothered to take it out quickly and run it out the system you could do that, most people run everything in their cases though so would be a pain. tbh, if it leaks and theres no power, isopropyl to displace alchohol, hairdryer to evap , ready in 20 mins, simple. leakage would be the only thing i'd worry about, water will be fine.
