So im getting an antec 1200 in a few days and would like to transfer my whole w/c system into it. In a noob at watercooling so im not sure what exactly to do.....

Can i reuse the tubing im running now?
Can i reuse the same coolant im running now?
*How the heck do i drain the thing.....*

Im also only running what thermaltake gave me for a coolant. I just put the whole bottle in. Is there anything i should change for a mixture of coolant?

Srry again just a w/c nood tryin to learn and not break his stuff

Yes you can reuse your tubing.

You can but it would be better to replace it, just so that you know nothing has started growing in your fluid.

If you have a RES then you can drain from your RES. Normally I try to drain as much as I can by tilting and shaking until I can get much left into and out of my res. Then I get a lot of towels and start removing the tubing.

I used what is in my signature, but distilled water plus PT Nuke is all you really need.

once you drain it. You don't reuse the coolant. Also you can use same tubes if they fit in the bigger case.
