Ah... now I see what you meant.

Yes, indeed that would have worked. Sadly I cut the little guys limbs off as the mounting needs to be completely different than the stock configuration.

Note to self: On the next project, make all custom internal parts FIRST, then design the case around them.

I just saw the above or I would have answered sooner.

I've done things like this sooo many times (on other types of projects).

If you use velcro, use the black stuff and maybe cover the entire backside in strips of it. This way it blends in with the case and most likely, noone will notice it. The stuff I used in Goliath is outstanding. Its super thin and a ton stronger than anything else I've used, including the 3m.

Regardless, whether you use the velcro or figure out another solution, I'm sure the end-result will be art.

I think the velcro should work just fine, but then again... I'm pretty noob when it comes to modding. Although! I did actually mod my case yesterday by cutting out some fan grills to improve air flow and acoustics.

Where is this reservoir going again? On the back? Would the velcro be visible?

Thanks for the feedback guys... I'm still undecided.

I thought that if I slept on it, that a choice would present itself...not.

I'm kinda gravitating toward mechanical fastening as it is more "permanent".

If I did use the Velcro, it would not be visible as the mounting point is tucked back in the case, and the black of the Velcro would not be noticeable against the black acrylic.

But then again, the Velcro would give the whole kit-n-kaboodle a slightly lower profile...

Gah!... lol @ me and my indecisiveness .

I'll take a nap at work and sleep on it some more.

My vote is for velcro. That marine grade stuff should be sturdy enough.

Thanks coffeejunky.



Yeah. The Velcro is sturdy enough.

We'll find out tonight when I get home and "just do it".

Lol. Sometimes my paralysis from analysis drives me up the wall.
