Need Ideas on where to mount my radiator!

[agallo]

I'm looking for ideas on how to mount a 120mm triple rad in or on my Thermaltake armor+ full tower. If any of you guys know of a good method or have done it yourself and have pics or know a place where I can find some good ideas that would be sweet!

Thanks,

120's are usually easily fitted onto the rear exhaust fan mounting mate

Or you could fit it on the bottom of the case near the psu by taking hdd brackets off the base.The best place would be on the rear where the standard 120mm fan is located at the moment.

This is one of the rads im thinking of getting it would fit in the bottom of the case it looks rather big. Do they sell brackets to mount on the rear of the case.

Can you not mount it on the top with a set of brackets and a few holes cut for the tubes?

Yeah I could I got that tray up top on the case, I would just need to find mounting brackets. Any suggestions on what to use for them?

just find some L brackets from your local hardware store or else buy a radiator mounting kit

Also could I just lay the rad on top of the case without having to mount it with bolts and screws or is that not the best idea performance wise?

 

[jonnylaris]

[agallo]
