    Apogee Drive II question

    I received my Drive today. I see the inlet is on the left side, the back of the case. If I use a bay reservoir, I have the run the tubing across the front of the block.

    It would flow much better if I can use the side closest to the bays as the inlet.

    Is this possible? Can I mount it upside down? Can the right side be used as the inlet?

    Thanks.

    Mounting it upside down makes a lot more sense than reversing flow through the block.

    yeah, I want to mount it upside down, so the intake is toward the drive bays where the reservioir will be.

    Won't make a bit of performance diff. The directions that came with it have any restrictions why you can't?

    you can install it any way you want, in this case upside down is the way to go!

    The directions make no mention of it.

    Stephen, I think this will interfere with my RAM. Can it be mounted sideways? Like the input facing on the bottom side, nearest the GPU, and outlet facing the top of the case?
