AIO Orientation

Hey everyone, I'm new here, so sorry if this has been covered before (no search function on the forums?). I was looking at cases that I may want to move my system into in order to go to an HTPC setup and I ran across the Raijintek Pan Slim. I almost jumped on it because it's almost exactly what I've looking for. However, after thinking about it a while I noticed the unusual orientation of the AIO (see below), and I remembered that a couple of youtubers had done videos on this subject (Stop Doing It Wrong!). After re-watching the videos I started thinking that maybe this wasn't the case that I've looking for, I don't think either of the videos covered this exact setup, but now it just looks weird to me. Let me know any thoughts on this issue please. And thanks!

 

Edit: Found the search function, sorry.

Do you know if there is a mounting point where the radiator fits above the pump?

 

Mockups and renders of cases that have plenty of top/front/back radiator support have depicted the cardinal sin of bottom mounting before, so it's not completely insane that this case has a mounting position where the radiator is above the pump, even if the difference is only a marginal delta z.

It's entirely possible that I misinterpreted/misread your topic and/or question. This happens more often than I care to admit. Apologies in advance.

End of the day, its probably not ideal for the lifespan of the pump but it'll work.
