Hejsan!
Goodlooking, clean installation. Mmmm...
Constructive critisism:
Move Your pump back into the case, away from the rad/fan (OK, it might bump into Your expansion card), and You will get a more gentle slope of the tube from the pump outlet, and You might rid Yourself of the 90 degree elbow.
I also tried a vertical PVC-tube for air trap a couple of months, but it din´t bleed my system. I guess it has to do with the waters velocity *down* the tube being greater than the airs velocity *up* through the water. In a horizontal air trap there will be very little vertical movement in the water, easing the airs way up to the surface. I searched the forum for more theories on air traps, but couldn´t confirm my BS.
Anyway, nice installation!
