Hey there,

So I recently picked up a XSPC ResTop for my DDC 3.2 after reading Martinm's excellent writeup. Martinm always does quality work and I find it very informative and well written. Thanks Martinm!

To be specific, the item I am talking about is this:

Now it's great and all that, but herein lies my problem. I am trying to mount it in a Antec P182. Now I was thinking that what I COULD do was pick up a DDC mounting bracket from Petra's, and mount it sideways.

The mounting bracket I am talking about is here:

The idea would be to mount the Pump + ResTop sideways in the front area of the case. I am concerned that this would orient the top horizontally instead of vertically. Do you folks foresee this as a problem?

I do know that filling would be a bit of pain since I would have to lay the case on its side. Furthermore when upright the air pocket that will inevitably result in the Res would be in the middle of the Res and could possibly (not sure?) make its way back into the system.

This is the whole reason why I'm asking, since maybe someone else out there has mounted this same combo in a P182 or a similar smallish case and can offer some insight or info.

Thanks in advance folks,
