unfortunately, i've torn down the system in preparation for a major revision so i won't be able to take new pics of this build. i'll just refer to an old pic:
my configuration, which is similar to both cpu and gpu loops:
res > pump > waterblocks > viperchecks (midplate) > T fittings (3 outlets: to drainport, to radiator, closed with stop fitting) > radiator > back to res.
as for the need for drainports, i'd consider it a good addition to the loop.
it makes it easier to empty the top portion of my loop and do any modifications/adjustments. i placed the drainports there because i didn't want to drain the rads and i didn't want to blow into the loop to drain... gravity took care of draining the top loop.
