Thought's on mounting pump?

[Psittac]

I got back to my case upgrade tonight for a bit and changed my mind on radiator mount (front instead of top).  Now I'm looking for thought's on mounting the pump with minimal additional equipment.

 

The brackets on this pump just don't like lining up with anything.  I might just put it under the psu shroud and attempt to be tricky with the piping.

 

Open to any and all thought's or comments.

 

Case is Evolv ATX TG

 

edit: I'm open to a new pump top or maybe pump top/reservoir combo

I would put it in the basment drill a hole at the bottom of the resevoir and run your pipes through the cable routing thing

Put it in the basement, also flip the rad if you can. What size tuning are you looking to use?

 

The EK-XRES 140 with the fan mount bracket would be nice and easy. I would work with what you have but it depends on the amount of work compared to getting parts.

What GPU are you putting in there? Have you measured? Looks like it will be tight.

1070, It looks a little close but should be enough.  I had this same layout in my nzxt noctis 450.  Kind of still in the planning phase so that's next on the check list.

I like that idea of flipping the rad, would make several of the fitting's end up in the basement.  I looked up the EK-XRES 140 and it look's nice, however I don't want to dump that much money into it.  If I could just get a pump top that would allow the existing res and pump to match up that would be worth it, but last thing I need is more part's that I'm not gonna use >_<

I completely agree about spending more money. Seems like putting it in the basement is the best option. Flipping the rad would just make the draining easier and cleaner if it can all fit.

 

thats how one of my rigs used to be.

I'm thinking that my rad won't fit the other way around, it's sitting pretty close to the bottom as is and not sure if I can move it up.  I do like how you ran those pipes, now that I know they'll work.

Well it will be very easy to bleed. That it a big ass rad. I put a hole in mine unfortunately. I'm sure you'll figure it out though. What size tubing are you gonna use?
