How to mount cylindrical internal reservoirs?

[burriswj]

Alright i'm looking at putting together a water cooling system in my pc, bitfenix survivor case, and want to know if there's a particular way to mount the cylindrical internal reservoirs. you know the bad ass ones that look like their from the lab the created the hulk or something. i know they come with brackets, but how do the brackets go from holding onto the reservoir to holding the reservoir to the case. i'd like my end result to look like this: http://www.overclock.net/water-cooling/803898-frozenq-liquid-fusion-2.html or this: http://lssclan.urldownload.com/omega/comp/i7/DSC02196.JPG

i offer you my training in the art of a bowstuff for a reasonable explanation/idea

may the force be with you

There is usually a good bit of pull or push from the tubes, so it needs to be pretty secure.

How you do it is going to depend on where it's attached.

in the pictures you have supplied the res is screwed into the motherboard, and probably at least one of the holes was drilled to do so.

I'm angry at you for reminding me of the T-Virus, I've been waiting four months for my two now grr!
If you check out http://www.frozenqpcmods.com/clips.php you'll see the mounts have a thread through them, this allows you to srew through the mobo backplate/sidepanel/roof and into the mount, to erm, mount the resses 😛
Hope this helped,

awesome thanks guys!

another question, how/where is this mounted as well? http://www.frozencpu.com/products/8284/ex-pmp-78/UNDesigns_Infinite_Pump_Bracket_-_Horizontal_for_Laing_D4D5_pump_.html?tl=g30c107s156

It could be anywhere. My pump is mounted on the floor of the case, and is just attached with very strong double-sided tape.

well yeah, if i go mega cheap mode im gonna get pump/res combo acrylic box that just sits at the bottom of the case, but where is this designed to screw on? am i more likely to pick out wherever i want it and drill the holes myself? i feel like, with a clean job, that could end up looking cooler anywho..

 

[burriswj]

speaking of which, is a pump thats in a reservoir and under water likely to be more quiet or will the difference be negligible?

I don't know really, but since any pump noise I have is more vibration, I would guess no.
