Hey guys, just a quick question.

 

I am looking to mount the EK res-x3 to the floor of my case (in a vertical fashion). I figured that a simple bracket would exist in order to accomplish this, but no luck in my research so far. I am not looking to mount a pump+res combo, but just the reservoir itself. Any ideas?

You can get those universal mounts to hold the tube but it won't be the most stable personally I would take a thick sheet of acrylic and bend it to a 90 degree and have the tube reservoir held in place by regular tube clamps. and mount the bottom of the plexi to the floor.

Where do you plan to have your pump? Because it needs to be below the res.

I have an h220x so the pump will be in the front of the case. The res built in to the h220x is really small and would make it a pain to fill the loop. The handbent plexi would not be a bad idea though. Does anything like this exist on the market already?
