ok, well I've been installing my new water cooling parts as I recieve them, and the only good place I can find for my reservoir so that it will feed into the Pump is on the bottom of my case. Is this going to cause problems? Its a swiftech Micro res, it will be on the same level as my pump but lower than the CPU block, and I have had to mount my MCR320 rad externaly on the top of my case.

Im assuming for filling and bleeding air I can just un- Bolt the res, put my computer on its side and keep the reservoir elevated above the rest of the parts, that should allow me to bleed air better. Am I right on this or totally off?

Once I have everything bleed out and filled up, it wont cause any problems having the reservoir at the lowest point will it?
 
No problem if the reservoir is the same level as the pump or below the pump.
If the reservoir is lover than the pump then it's harder to prime it. The best location for the reservoir is above the pump. Just fill up the Res and the coolant automatic run down to the pump and when you turn it on the line will fill up instantly.
