Does the res capacity really matter?

Does the res capacity really matter? and do I have to make the tubing as short as possible, I mean is it better to get a res that fits in the optical drive bay (2 x 5.25" bays)?

No it doesnt, infact you can get away with not having a res at all if you really want to. Its only there to look nice and help you with bleeding/filling. A larger res will cause your system to reach thermal equilibrium slower, nothing much else.

If you live in Sydney, then you live in my suburb
unless there is another guildford in some other country
I might get a small res then but I like optical bay res's, they are easier to mount especially if u dont like seeing the res

My Guildford is in the UK im afraid, Sydney would be much nicer Although im not sure I would get such good temps in a warm country! Get whatever res you like the look of, it really isnt an issue past that.
