That will make for easy access to the top port on the res, and make for easier bleeding since with the top rad moved down the res will be the top component in the system.
You're right, though, that the real solution for a permanent top-mounted fill port would be to install a custom bracket. Seems Phanteks didn't think of *everything* after all, huh?

It would be a simple thing to provide that bracket .... I'd be happy to donate all my plate designs to Phanteks at no charge .... well other than a shot at the Enthoo II for evaluation purposes of course

Have my 35x2 plate at a CNC shop (friend of my sons) to see if the can do it at the moment.
Here's a copy of that:
35X2 Mounting Plate-Model.pdf 24k .pdf file
.
If they can do it, I'll ask if they can make me your plate too .... no idea what if anything they gonna charge me.
Also, as to the drain problem ..... low rad with Bitspower 90 bend does the trick .... I'll either put a Quick Disconnect or Valve and plug.
A 25mm extension from one closes to side with plug will work .... till ya take the plug out

A male / male extender I'm gonna guess adds about 10mm .... dunno how long the valve or disconnects are so hard to figure .... could always go to one in back and make it work with an extender or 2 ... gives ya an extra 70mm to play with.

Nicely done ? How much for one made to match my Bitspower Fittings .... same color and materials ? And shipped to Long Island ..... and it must serve double duty as a skateboard !

?
BTW, in case my local CNC shop (they in HVAC business) can't handle my 35x2 plate .... anyone know of anyone who services OCN folks ?
