How about using the hardware, plus the velcro?

I had the same thought a few minutes ago too...lol...I'll take a look at it again in the morning. Hopefully I won't have to wait too long for the rest of the parts I want and then I can do it up the way I want it.

there's also the option of using the empty slot-cover holes with zipties to the holes in the res...

Nah, I've never had teh same situation...

Wooo Hoooo....new toys got here today!... Here's a few pics of a mock setup, I'll be using red tubing (maybe a couple of green). The res is going to be a bit harder to fill but not too bad. Unfortunately the 280's are still 10-12 days away so I'll have to wait to test it. I picked up a GTZ from Gav's great sale but I think I'll go with the TT one that came with the case and see how well it works then try the GTZ. These Koolance wb's are pretty slick lookin'!!...I hope they work as sweet as they look! I like the look of the XSPC top, even has 2 light plugs to make that clear acrylic look cool and the res has light in the acrylic base so that should look real purdy!

Have to give the guys down at Performance-PC a big Thank You! They were very helpful, the service so far has been excellent. The fact they were dealing with Fay at the time and managed to get my package out was pretty impressive. I saw news footage from Palm Bay where the flooding was pretty severe and not fun thing to deal with so I hope everyone down there is ok.

Why did I know I was gonna hear that!...lol...only reason I want to try the TT is to check temps then switch to the GTZ to see how much difference there is. I like the passive rad too, I'm just not sure about having it and the triple rad all hooked up...that's ALOT of fluild!...any thoughts on this?

That should be ok. Is it aluminum though? If so, make sure you use a good coolant and good Biocide, you done want corrosion.
