I did HVAC and some plumbing for many years, water boilers, steam, Nat gas gas pipe, refrigerant piping and so on.
One of the best ways to test for leaks before we would put in water or refrigerant is test with air pressure. Nitrogen is best but air is good too. (Just not in refrigerant pipe)
A small system like a computer would be easy to do with a small air compressor or a bicycle pump, a fitting and a gauge.
Could even do it with a hand held vacuum pump like a brake bleeder pump and a gauge. If it holds pressure or holds a vacuum it should hold water.
Easier to fix a leak with out having to drain, fix, refill, test, drain, fix, refill........
