Also the CD~ROMs produce a fair amount of heat (well mine does  ), so the position is'nt the best for thermal placement...
I'd go with a T&fill tube combined airtrap at the highest point myself, with a T&bleed valve at the lowest point...

Looks like with the 5 1/4 rails attached that it would slide out a bit and it also appears the fill cap is located up front for easy access once the res is slid out a touch.
Perhaps my res is not indicative but it's not completely air free and no bubbles are sucked into the outlet as they remain at the top and the fittings are near the bottom. I would think as long as the fittings were below the fill point that any air in the res would remain above the fittings at the top. Also, I would think with today's cases there would be ample room to place the res in the top 5 1/4 bay, leave the next one empty or with something that doesn't produce a lot of heat like a fanbus or temp monitor and then CD-ROMs well below the res. I suppose I'm just not seeing as many downsides as others because I'm still new to WC.
