I would say go old-school and use DAWN dishwashing liquid and a little Clorox...If it can take grease off of plastic...it'll work...just let it soak

make sure that you rinse THOROUGHLY!!!!!!
^^^^ I agree as this was the method I used with my old watercooling setup. Actually pinched the good wifes Hydrogen Peroxide hair bleach solution which is about 20%vol concerntration and added it to water in a 8:1 mix.
note: rinse well several times as it has a dramatic effect on copper.

I mentioned Drain-O a while back, but I'm not sure how many people have used it. Also, I'm unsure of any left over chemicals, but it is safe on plastic.
Might be the moore expensive way to do it. I have on clue on how much that stuff costs. So that's up to you
P.S. 1,000th post

That sounds like a great idea to me, because brushing would allow you to use much milder chemicals, and make the whole thing go faster.

Make sure peroxide isnt very acidic, otherwize it WILL result in a chemical explosion! I know Bleach is a base, but be sure to make sure peroxide is not very acidic. For the post above, isnt it hydrochloric acid?

From my limited knowledge, I believe base+acid may indeed neutralize each other, it's just that "neutralization" may involve explosions, poisonous gasses, etc.
For example, mixing chlorine (bleach) and ammonia is supposed to be a *very* bad idea. Poisonous gasses, I believe.
