If you want a res get a swiftech MCRES or a T-Line.

All lookes fine but tell us which parts your getting

I'd stay away from bay res' just get a t-line/mcres

any reason to stay away from the bay res

Its a container of liquid over a bunch of electrical devices. More or less.

Either use a T-line or put the res on the bottom of the case.

I prefer T-line's myself.

And if it's acrylic sometimes they have a tendency to crack over time. I feel much safer with a t-line in my rig.

point taken lol

Shouldn't your reservoir be the highest point in the loop. This assures that the air is constantly rising out of your loop and into your reservoir or T-junction. Granted most of the air is bled intially but over time you will be bleeding some air from the liquid.

By the way, GOGO XSPC!!!!! Hehe, i'm really happy with my XSPC stuff and I think you will be too. I would go with a T line like everyone else, acrylic = bad for long term survivability. You could get one of those passive res's XSPC do, they're solid alu.
