I'm beginning to plan out my first watercooling rig and am looking at going with a bay reservoir. Any reccomendations? What about the alphacool bullseye? How do you fill a bay reservoir? Do you have to tip the case over backwards for filling and bleeding?

See the caps on top?

Thanks. Do you run a line from the reservior caps on top to an inlet on the outside of the case? (I'm assuming you're not supposed to pull the reservoir out to fill/bleed?)

Would you reccommend this reservoir or are the ones from Danger Den or Swiftech better (though admittedly less "blingy")?

That is a special delrin res niksubh1 makes. Resevoirs automaically bleed your system. I've seen alot of folks here use the Swiftech micro res, which is a small res that fits in tiny spaces.
