    I have a 9 bay stacker and want to use the lower 6 bays to mount a 240mm radiator and was just wondering if there is some sort of bracket to do this?

    I've done some research and found people fabricating their own, i've even seen a guy on youtube use velcro which is a good idea but not for me.

    :D

    I know Innovatech made some 5.25 radiator mounts, but you could always mod the current HDD cage, or some random 5.25" face plates to take the 120mm fan holes.

    Or, you could mount it on the base/floor of your stacker.

    If it's using the bottom 6 bays then it's going to be near, if not touching, the floor of the case; I think Mankz means attaching the bottom bit of the radiator that is near/touching the floor to the floor of the case.

    :duh: That makes more sense ;) Yea thats a good idea, I could make a bracket to fix it to the floor and then another bracket to hold it to one of the bays or something.

    I have a video somewhere of the guy from Danger Den installing a rad into 5.25" bays using nothing more than industrial strength Velcro.

    It's a good idea and it looks secure enough but I would prefer something metal lol
