So I have:
1x360mm
1x240mm
CPU block
GPU block
Res (still need to order)
Pump

So that is 12 fittings, but what can i use as a drain port? I figure I will use a hole on the res top to fill it up

Also, I am in the Enthoo Luxe, where is best to use a 90/45 degree fittings, I am using HARD TUBING.

Also PETG or Acrylic, and what liquid?

Going for the EK 10/12 Nickel Fittings just need help on the rest to order.
 
Make sure you order an extra 1/2 fittings just incase you get a faulty one.

I use this for a drain port;
XSPC G1/4" Plug (Chrome) V2
XSPC G1/4" 5mm Male to Male Fitting (Chrome)
Aqua Computer Ball Valve Female Thread G 14 without Fittings
XSPC G14" T Fitting (Chrome)

Make sure you have two fittings for it in your count, the plug is just for safety to make sure it doesn't leak via the ball valve.
 
PETG is better. Easier to bend and doesn't shatter or crack as easily.

Liquid is wide open, but many would suggest a clear option, to avoid any issues and also for longevity. If you want colour, you can add some UV clear dye from Mayhems. Works well if you then add UV lights to your build.

You want the drain port at lowest point. Often you would use a t-splitter and have it coming of that.

Thanks for the good advice re: faulty fittings - noted.

Currently researching for my own first attempt at WC in the same case, OP. Totally overwhelmed, trying to pick pumps and reservoirs now.
