I used a large filter housing for mine since its in a full tower. No glued seams, just O-rings and a gasket. I am using the 1/2" OD hoses for the Swiftech pushlock fittings, so 3/8" ID copper was fine for me. Larger tubing would just require a larger fitting and hole in the bottom of the res. It bleeds the air out very quickly.

The smooth bend copper elbows don't harm flow much, not like the sharp right turn plastic fittings.
