don't like the Swiftech micro reservoir

If you want to use 90* barbs, you'll need 2 per hose. One barb at the rad, and one barb in the case. Doing so, you'll bring the hoses closer to the rad with no kinks. The downside is that you won't know how the 90* barbs will end up clocking-wise, after being installed on the rad.... not good.

If you don't use 90* barbs, make good use of the smartcoils. They work very well to prevent hose kinking.
