Put a tline with a plug on the end and have it come off the bottom of the res, enough tubing to reach outside of the case. You have a wire hole right there you could tuck the hose into, keeing the drain tube better hidden. Or get a self sealing quick disconnect and stub it off the output of the pump, and connect the drain tube to it when it's time to drain.
Intake is best for ANY rad. the inside case air is warmer than the room air.
If that res doesn't have the long tube to the bottom from the top, your going to want your water to go into the bottom of the res. Otherwise you'll have a bubble making machine.
If the rad is intake, all the other case fans should be exhaust.

i appreciate the response
1. id rather not add a t-line because it doesnt look good.. what do you mean by the part in bold?? do you have a link to where i can buy that ? or a picture of someone using it?
2. i've thought about intake on the rad, but isnt there not enough exhaust on the 700d ? im worried itd get too warm in the case? since my gpu is not wc'd .. only 1 rear 140mm and 1 bottom 140mm
3. what do you mean by bubble making machine? i thought that the EK vortex base thing prevents that? are you saying ineed to connect my res-inlet to the bottom instead of top?
thanks for your time

If water is allowed to just drop into the top of the res then it's a miniature waterfall and will make bubbles unless you have some way to keep the res 100% full all the time. Some of those bubbles are bound to get to the loop ...

Performance PCs has tons of Koolance parts, try there.
The solution is use the bottom input of the res, sorry.

rotate the res 180 degrees and use the inlet on the side, it avoids using a 90 and will look swazzy.

^^^ this. avoid 90's at all costs if you can. They can murder flow rates.

A few 90's won't hurt anything. It's not like the old 90's of yor............. the 2006 of 90's.

90's can make flow rates terrible, if uosed in over stupid large amounts.
Your fine. Great pump and a simple loop, even with a GPU added later.

great thanks for all the help
i'll probably have a few more questions in the near-future, waiting for more parts to come in before i get started installing the loop & leak testing
btw i found that acrylic tube thing that connects to the top of the res, so looks like i'll be going w/ my original tubing route! thanks again for mentioning the bubbling concern, Conumdrum, i would have never caught such a "minor" detail
