Looks good, Drain port at the bottom of the loop makes sense tbh and saves emptying fluid over your hardware potentially.

Just need a T-Line fitting or similar, put a blanking plug on one hole, remove plug to drain - job done

Watercooling products usually come with the required number of blanks. E.G, a rad with 7 threads will ship with 5 blanks.

You can buy nicer ones though, if that's your thing.

cool, ive ordered the parts should be here tomorrow, i also ordered the msi mpower mobo and matching mpower ram so it should look half tidy.
I ordered clear tubing and black tubing because i was going to alternate black and yellow but now im not sure.

Any suggestions guys?
