Just a Personal Question

What would look better in a 900D? Should I use a bay reservoir or a tube? 

[joelthezombie15]

I think a bay will kill the look of the front

[sonarctica]

reservoiiiirrrrr

[ericlee30]

A tube res all the way my friend

[tp95112]

Tube because it uses up the empty space in the right

[Viroth]

Tube, I've never liked bay res's they as The Doctor says, it kills the front panel looks. The tube is allot nicer imo.

[WunderWuffle]

Tube it is. :D

[TechSage]

Reservoir would look awesome!

[unidentical]

The front of the 900D is very wide, pulling the covers off and putting a bay res in would probably look extremely... off.

 

And that huge window is begging for a huge res to display.

[Thibaudv]

This is my rule: Big cases: go tube

Smaller cases (for example CM 690 II): go bay, trying to cram a tube in there just looks messy

[airdeano]

i do not use ODD bays (generally rip them out if i can get away with it)

so the support for a bayres is gone. tubular (or squarular) looks great

interior or exterior mounted. bayres outside of a bay is almost silly. i tried

and quickly, undid the option..

I was pondering the same thing myself. I've seen a lot of complaints about the bay res's leaking. I'm not sure if its actually a problem or if the few people who have leaks are very vocal.

tube res, i like a clean look to the front of my case.

[ajoy39]

in something like the 900D go tube. The biggest reason to use a bay res, at least in my opinion, is to save on space inside the case which you really don't need to do in the 900D. Plus with the side window n that thing you can have it showing through the window and that just adds to the aesthetic. 

[airdeano]

nice to see through a window..

I think that, because of the way the 900D bays were made, they look bad with stuff in them (because there's 3 inches of extra space)

 

So a tube reservoir would look better because it fills the emptiness beside the motherboard.

Get a largeish tube.  It makes it look better inside.  Bay res have had quite a few problems so I've heard

[WunderWuffle]

How big can the tube be? Can I use a 250mm tube? 

[airdeano]

depends on where it is located, access to pump and tubing runs.

i'd bought 8-tubes before settling that the 200 or 240 will be the bodies i'd use.

 

plus there are 50mm, 60mm, & 80mm diameter bodies. the 50 was great starter,

but i had to move to the 60 and soon to the 80mm tubes. just an easier way to

fill space with monster looks.

What is the res that you're using that is in 80mm Diameter?

[airdeano]

yahuh.. those are 200x 80 bodies, got 240x 80 in reserve to "fill" if necessary

80s reach over the D5 top, 60s come to just under the width of the top.

imo always use tube res unless the front if made of mesh

I'd personally go with tube res. Keep the front clean and simple.
