XSPC Dual Bay Reservoir or res+cover?

What to get? I like the idea that my res would fit into 5.25 bay but also i am concerned about the noise the pump will make when fixated onto reservoir.


So, another option is to get dual bay res and a custom laing cover. I had this one in mind:

OCLabs XPTop Laing DDC Plexi cover black
Price is about the same... (xspc res+xptop combo and xspc db res).

Now, I need opinions on performance (xptop vs bulit in xspc) and noise. Another advantage of xspc is space since the pump is attached directly. Thanks in advance.

edit: I already have the laing pump. Just to make sure that thread does not go in other direction. So anything else can be recommended with a price tag of around 50euros (probably ordering from aquatuning).

It depends on what you want. If you want a bay res, get the the XSPC bay res, if you want to use a regular res, get a top for your pump. The XSPC bay res performs well, and I haven't ever heard of the top you linked, so can't compare performance on it.
