Anyone know where i would be able to find such a thing here in the sates =(?

[Ketzer7]

Never seen anything like it over here. Unfortunately, WCUK doesn't ship the US currently. So unless you know someone in the UK that can buy it for you and forward it on, or have someone/place make one for you custom, that's about it.

Only ones I've seen are ones people had made custom for their builds.

I've been looking for them too.

if you go to performance-pcs.com or frozencpu.com and look under radiator accessories they have a few radiator mounting options. sadly not the one in the picture though/

[Aphellyon]

Would be pretty neat to mount to the outside of the fans and then stealth the wiring.

They ship to the US as well

Heh their shipping options are confusing me a bit... Something tells me the options given wont cover my package making it all the way to the US...

Hmm looked at it closer and it looks right. 7.40 pounds to get a single triple mount shipped to California.

Never had any problems with their shipping to Finland at least.

That is pretty simple but look effective. I would have used something like that. It wouldnt be that are to make, but sometimes things like this arent worth the hassle if the price is right.

[Caoder]

i'll just make something else then :/ it was worth a try but 13 pounds converted to usd is 22~ ... i don't think that's worth it i can easily make just 2 brackets for mounts :/

Koolance had something interesting pop up, but i think you could mod it so it would work like that.

i was thinking about just using an aluminum l angle and cutting it down... i dunno or 2 l brackets n holding the 2 ends of the rad up. either should be good enough for my puposes.

or u can use a electrical box.

Or cut up some wood and then screw it from the bottom side up so it stays in place, or wood + double sided sticky tape. :P

Theres a lot of things u can do if all your looking for is a slight lift.

[Caoder]

and has to look good :p so alu angles painted black will look nice. planning for my black pearl build. I was thinking 1" x 1" 1/8 aluminum angles or if i can find it 5" x 5"x 1/8" angles and chop it down to size to fit a 120 rad... will have to dig around home depot for it.

[Caoder]

Not quite.. i plan on making these mounts for the bottom of the black pearl holding the rads son their side vertically... so i'll need larger mounts.

[Demthios]

I would love to have a simple solution for mounting the rads sideways as well. I don't know if the UN bay brackets would hold the weight of them sideways.

Caoder I have the same idea for the same case let me know if you find anything that works well?

[armeniandave]

I have a set here and there pretty frickin strong.
If you used three or four I would think they would work fine.
The weak point would be the screw.

I honestly haven't tried it but I know from years of sheet metal experience that they should hold the weight.

[Demthios]

Alright great! Now just wondering how high they would get the rad from the floor of the case then...if the would clear the lip for the side panels.

[armeniandave]

Here's some quick pics. I can get more later if you need.

[Caoder]

hmm that does look good.. maybe.. i was thinking something that extends all the way to the top.. or if you can make those kind of rad mounts i would totally buy em. I would use 2 screws with small washers to hold em down.

[PaulyD]

I use a couple of Hammond electrical boxes double sided taped to the Rad to rise my rad up on my V2000, does the job nicely and can't really see them at all when viewing with the side off

[Caoder]

.. the UN brackets may work for what i'm planning... i'll haveta play around with it.. how high does the brackets lift the rad up?

[earthwormjim]

I just used some L brackets from home depot. I spray painted them black so they blend in.

You don't really need a specially made bracket to mount a radiator, it's just another piece of hardware.

Yes I too at one point have cut finagled around with L brackets but I believe you may be missing the point slightly. Dave's work has a pronounced aesthetic quality that is as inescapable as his craftsmanship. Plus I think it's inherent in the naming of this website itself that it's not fully about what one "needs" to get something accomplished. Even as some have said can't see the quick fix of their own making, for those like me (perhaps mentally ill) detail fanatics, even with something unseen, my mind still sees it. That and I don't think at all (especially if you're into taking some really cool photos) that the rad mounts go unseen. Perhaps if you never look.

And of course earthwormjim (btw the creator of that video game lived next door for awhile) you have the right to do as you please, but just remember that for every detail their is a freak who fixates on it. ... And to correct myself in the context of this post, I don't think mounting a radiator is any small detail in the least.
