Hello, I was wondering if I could mount a reservoir horizontally on the top of my case using one of ekwb's mounting brackets (The case is a Mars Gaming MC7 and i'm planning to mount  a custom watercooling loop with a 360 radiator, and thus i cannot find any other place to mount the reservoir), any other ideas/suggestions on how i could do it? i've also thought about putting a 240 radiator on top and a 120 at the back but that would raise a lot the overall price. So I came up with this idea, would the weight of the water be a problem? (i'll probably use a 125ml reservoir+pump Combo) I've looked on the internet and I have not found any examples of this being done, is that for a particular reason? Could I do it without problems?

Having it on top is not a problem given that it is mounted securely. The res will need to then directly feed into the pump to ensure it will not run dry.
