Aesthetic Loop Help

I've come here to petition the liquid masters for help. I just set up my new case yesterday and moved over all my gear. What can I do besides hard tubing (going to do that later down the road) to make the loop a bit nicer looking? I was thinking a few 90 degree angle fittings .

 

 

Also, I have some quick disconnects but not sure where to hide them for a drain. Any ideas?

if you had left more slack in the tubes you could have given them more direction and nicer curves but that's about it.

maybe some custom cover for that squarish thingy (not good with water cooling)

Angled fittings can help clean up and make some of those runs more direct. I personally for soft tubing I always give an arc between two sections of fittings for aesthetics. 

 

For the drain you can always add a QDC betweent he GPU and res or a T fitting and valve.

Thank you. I like the arc too but angle fittings mainly for the radiator down to the res.

Thats just the flow gauge. Its actually not in the direct airflow of the radiator.

Here's some examples of what I tend to do, I try to prevent straight tubing runs wherever possible and always introduce curves or arc. For the flow gauge you could mount that along the edge of the rad.
