Wait whats wrong, give me a picture to describe your problem.

 

Im new to this part of water cooling but i'll try my best, I've only built two loops.

how do i put the water in the res without spilling?

 

There is a plate just below the fill port, making it easy to spill

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.1 Corinthians 13:4

Do you have a big syringe? This would help also http://www.frozencpu.com/products/13180/ex-liq-188/Liquid_Filling_Bottle_-_500mL_.html?tl=g30c101s1206

If you want there is a tube you can use with a M20 adapter i believe which is what they use or a large syringe works well more most cases I've seen.

ok. Im attatching it with velcro, so that should be easy.

It would work and taking it out of the case while filling would be a good idea just incase it drips or has any spills, a syringe from the drug store would be best but most places don't carry over sized syringes.

I have 2 ports on the top of my res, I use one for filling. That one is kinda a pain, since there is only one, I'm not even sure how you do that..

Use one of these -> http://www.frozencpu.com/products/11874/ex-tub-724/Bitspower_G12_to_IG14_Matte_Black_E-Adapter_BP-MBWP-C22.html#blank With a normal fitting inside that with tube and funnel in tube, you're using velcro so just move it so you can do said method then fill. Once bled put the res back on the velcro. Done!
