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...

Filling it up: I don't know if you read the description, there is a fill hole/plug located towards the front of the Bay-Res. You can actually fill your whole system by sliding the Res out 1/2'' - 1'' and using a 1/4'' NPT x any size barb (and connecting some tube to the barb, and use a funnel to fill it) or just using a funnel into the hole. The Plug has an O-ring seal, so no leaking
.
As long as the Water Level is above the 1/4-1/2 of the Res, no air will go into the system. Even if the water level drops, air does not easily get sucked in to the system. The water is sucked in first. Trust me, I tried it. So did Danny @ Dtek. Air will remain above the water, the res acts similar to the T. The Water will always be below the air, that's just nature
.
Thermal Placement?!?: Acrylic is an INSULATOR of heat, not a conductor. CD-rom's don't get hot enough to make Acrylic a conductor of heat. If CD-Rom's put out that much heat, why don't people worry about them and put fans near them?
