leak testing

I'm going to be ordering my case and water cooling kit this week but my other components at the end of the month. Is it possible to hook everything up. And leak test with no components? So that when I do get them I can just slide everything in?

OK thank you. I may leak test for 48 hours since I can do it this way. I can't go two days without my computer since classes will be starting.

Quick question so I don't start another topic. Ek kit or xspc kit?

Tried putting it together part by part and can't get it that cheap.

You can even leak test with your stuff inside using paper towels around areas it might leak, but just having a cpu loop will be easy to setup without the board in the pc just try to measure it out little longer then needed but not to much extra.

I prefer xspc kits they usualy have better rads.
