Watercooling noob question

I was just making my first water cooling setup and i was readin on the web that instead a resevoir you can run a t line which actually works more efficiently as it doesnt disrupt the path of the water.

Do any of you just run a t-line or have any t-line experience?

Thanks

The problem with a t-line is that it takes longer to bleed out the smaller air bubbles. Your average reservoir (swiftech mcres for example) should have very little pressure drop, as it's just an inlet/outlet with a large water chamber.

I don't see any purpose to a reservior myself. I've been using a fillport tube
for both my loops. I guess just less hardware to find room for/buy. However, you need a fillport($9).
The tubes are quite efficient.
