Im looking for inspiration for my Mac Pro case, I have a Photon 270 D5 and im looking for some ideas on how to mount it externally.

 

My current idea is to mount it to the rear 120mm fan area with a 3d printed support but I would still like to hear some ideas or ideally photos of projects?

Got any pics of the case itself, perhaps theres some oppotunity to mod the case so the res is part of it rather than bolted to it.

 

BTW , be carefull with external res mounting, You dont realy want the res to be open to the sun as it will promote growth in the loop, so just make sure you dont have it in front of a window or direct across from one that gets the sun.

 

I have the 270 photon myself and have it mounted on a custom L bracket to the bottom of my case (verticaly/upright) on the inside ofc.
