Connect everything and then fill/bleed?
I'm a little worried. All the guides I read suggest that you connect all the waterblocks and tubing to the hardware and then bleed and fill the system. But that sounds a little risky to me. What happens if there's even a tiny leak? The hardware will be damaged won't it? Shouldn't you measure and cut the tubing, take the hardware out, hook up the tubing and heatblocks, and bleed/fill with the hardware not in the case?

When you measure the tubing make sure you leave a little more tube length to allow for flexibility, especially if you use a resevoir that you will need to pull out of the 5.25'' bay to refill. You should also test the water cooling loop outside your rig for leaks. Do that for 24 hours as some leaks are so small/slow that it literally takes 1 day for you to spot them.
