I love the XSPC Photon reservoirs, I'm kind of a sucker for big tube res' and leds.

Yes, I love them too, I am looking forward on watercooling my rig, and since I have a really big case, I was thinking about a really big reservoir.

Just be careful because I got the 270 coming from a 250mm thinking it would fit similarly, but it's HUGE. You may want to get a smaller size than you think you need (or want).

Also be careful that the part of your case you are mounting it to is flat because it mounts on a flat bar.
