OK, decided to add a 2nd 7970 to my system (as well as a bit more rad), and am looking in to the various fittings. I think I have made my mind up to go for plexi parallel EK link (as seen in picture - taken from the poster tribz build - very nice by the way).
Anyway, due to the way my loop runs at present I would be interested if a fiiting exists that would allow me to run the water in in these directions - if such exists?
From that pic it doesn't appear to have a port on side left, but is it possible to get a fitting with a port in this position. This would be ideal as I have a Koolance QDC sitting supported by the Antec P280's water cooling entry/ exit points, so if I could run the tubing straight in to fitting from my external rad it would prevent any kinks and just look generally tidier.
Am I right in assuming with a parallel link as long as the inlet and outlets are parallel to each other, then it doesn't matter if inlet is on bottom?
If that is a correct assumption, then I could also do something like this:
Would that work properly with the water coming in at bottom via a 90deg rotary, and out at top back to bay reservoir?
My loop currently goes res > cpu > ext. rad > gpu > res
My new design would go res > rad > cpu > ext. rad > gpu's > res
Thoughts?

) pose any problems. In theory the flow is still going through both cards although admittedly in the opposite direction than would normally be the case.
