Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine WC'ing my system to be this expensive. It's not the parts themselves, it's all the mistakes. I've gone through 2 different cases, 2 different reservoirs (want to buy my third right now), 4 different radiators, lots and lots of tygon tubing, and an insane amount of barbs, and all of this because I didn't properly plan/do my homework beforehand. So here I am. My current Res (XSPC Dual Bay/D5) is a PITA to bleed so I want to move to a nice tube res setup. My new 6990 (EK'd) just came in so now I'm ready to re-do my loop... again.
This is more or less what my system looks like right now. Now, this is what I want to do:
-Replace my bay res with a tube/pump combo res.
-Move the rear 120mm radiator to the bottom of the case (I don't mean the PSU compartment, I mean above the fan that's already there).
First question, do you guys see anything wrong with this layout? I'd like to slide my case further into my desk and closer to the wall, and the radiator/tubes get in the way of that with their current positioning.
Second question, do you guys think the following reserver will work?

I'm leaning heavily towards this, as it was linked to me in another thread. I'm just worried of spending another $100+ and have something not fit right, lol. I'm going to go with 2 tubes (120mm and 50mm) with the linked coupler, and have one of the nozzles in the coupler be the water inlet into the res. I also want to drill a hole in the top of my case and make use of the fillport on the top of the reservoir. My main concern is space within my case. I don't want the res to be too tall once it's setup, and I also dont want something to be too wide. I've seen people use this setup inside an 800D so I don't anticipate any problems, but I would still like advice. Especially if anyone here has actually used any of these parts before
Anywho, I appreciate any input and suggestions.
