I have a few questions about filling and bleeding and refilling.
Given that my radiator is going to be placed in my case like this:

Then what would be the best approach to filling everything up with water and getting rid of air? I know some people use resevoirs, others use fill and bleeds, some people use T connects, and others just submerge all components....
I'd go with the submerge all components.... but that brings up another question: How often do you have to empty and refill the system? I plan on using distilled water with water wetter and a subtle blue dye--it won't be that thick dense green antifreeze look, so if it got "gunky" then it would probably show pretty easily. Is there a way to easily empty and refill the system without having to disconnect everything? What can I do now while constructing things to make maintenance easy?
I also read an article on here explaining the importance of an air trap. Given the position of my radiator, I'm not sure what would be the best way to implement this. Maybe a res in the top 5 1/4 bay?
Thanks in advance for any help and advice you can give me
