I have compiled this list so far to go in a Corsair 540 Air.

There is a couple of things i am not sure about;

Do i need any angled fittings?

Is a QDC good to use to drain the loop or should i be looking for something else? if it is spec me one and tell me the best place to fit it please.

Which pre-mixed fluid should i use? i want clear but theres 2 options. As i am new to it i want something thats ready to go.

Which bridge should i use to go between the two cards on the following board: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-514-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=2261

If theres something i've overlooked please tell me :D

I'm plsnning on using a T fitting and Qdc's to use as a drain line for my build.
Use the Mayhems clear premix as it has all the biocides and stuff already sorted for you. And you can't beat their support if there are any issues.
Angled fittings will depend on you and how tight the spacing is in your case.
If you have a big case it shouldn't be too much of an issue, and you can always add them at a later date.
 
Aye. I I don't think you'll want to run the pump to drain it dude or you might dry run the pump. It's easiest to drain if it is at the lowest point of the loop. I'll be fitting mine using a T fitting and a qdc. I'll just plug the other qdc in when I want to drain it. I've yet to get my case and photon pump/res combo
 
ah i see, so put the QDC on the drain port of the t fitting, then connect the other half of the QDC to some pipe or something to drain it out?
