Should i get this filport thing for my tline for whenever i get my w/c?

http://www.dangerden.com/mall/Misc_Hardware/fillport.htm

it looks nice but i dunno if i am good enough to cut a hole in my case (dont really wanna take the parts out) cuz i started cutting some plastic today and it was hard to get nice cuts, same when i tried with a metal thing that was in my 5.25 inch bays

any ways heres a pic of what it looks like

I used some 3/4" ID 1" OD tubing for my T-line, and then used a plastic threaded end piece. It made the end just like a hose, and I then put a plastic hose cap on it. The parts are in the sprinkler area of the hardware store. The best part about a huge 3/4" T-line is that it stores as much water as most 3.5" resevoirs.

Hate to say it but I did buy one of these. What do I think of it you ask? Well personally I like it a lot better than my previous hardware made t-line cap. My hardware made one leaked unless I put that white plumbing tape stuff on it. PLus Im a sucker for things that look good.

I've not ordered one of these myself, but may do so here soon. Not exactly flush mount like the dangerden model, but they look sturdy enough. Just thought I'd provide an alternative.

ya that one doesnt look half as awsome as the dd one, but its alot cheaper

Do you put that one at the top of the case like the dd one?

if i got it I'd probably leave it on the inside securely zip tied to an upper rung on the optical drive cage, that roof mount is... overkill and would be annoying for flexibility's sake

i think it would look nice right in between the video card and the hard drive rack, but it would be a long tube from top to bottom

but it would be so much easier to fill the case since you wont have to open it up

T line Cap

I got this one over a CoolTechnica for like $3.50 since I already had a waterblock and some clearflex 60 coming from them. You might check it out.

does the dd one come with tubing?

where do you put the tubing on the 3.50 one? the skinny part or the bigger part?

Tubing would go on the skinny part.
But if all you want is something like that go to home depot in the plumbing department they have stuff like that. and it would be like 1.50 plus tax and no sihpping.
