The lowest point of the system will have a T fitting with the odd connection pointing downwards. I'm going to pipe this through a small valve and out a port cut through the bottom of the case. In theory, draining the system will be as easy as setting the tower over a sink or bucket and opening this valve. Air will be let in to replace the exiting coolant by opening the filler cap on the reservoir up at the very top of the loop.
Refilling will hopefully be as easy as pouring coolant into the reservoir. It will inevitably not want to flow down into the system, so I'll use the drain valve to bleed the air out from beneath the water. Once enough has flowed down to flood the pump impeller housing, the pump will be able to start and de-air the loop under it's own power. I'll just keep topping off the reservoir until all the air has been able to escape.

Do you have this T-connector before or after the pump?
