Help with reservoir

[An AFK User]

I'm going to buy an Enthoo Luxe. I want to use a tube reservoir but my gpu is too long to use the reservoir bracket with. My question is how would I mount my reservoir like this so it doesn't get in the way of my gpu. If someone tells me how this guy did this, I'm going to buy this res (assuming it is an EK XRES100 d5 pump combo) http://imgur.com/GDoZ6lv

From the picture there are 3 possibilities:

1) Res being held up by the tubes
2) Custom screwholes we can't see
3) The guy superglued the bracket to the case

If you can't fit a tube res in there get a 5.25" bay res.

Right there is a res mount. See if it fits a bit below the GPU

If he places it there he might have trouble with tube clearance with the rear fan and would also have to drain his loop and remove the res to install or pull out an adjacent expansion card (unless he uses soft tubes). A double 5.25" bay res is still the better option.

Your statement in contradictory. Even if he went to a 5,25 bay, he would still need to drain..... I am pretty sure the Op does not want to go through the hassle of buying another res...

Why would he have to drain? Placing a tube res in the position you showed would block the expansion cards, how would a bay res do that? It'd be nowhere near the expansion slots.

HE would still have to drain it. How is he going to connect the tubes to the bay res without any water coming out.

That's... not what I meant. I meant that literally every time he'd want to move a PCIe card he would have to drain the system and move the res. With a bay res it's just one initial drain-and-fill.
