also, could you use velcro to secure the pump? or maybe straps? like cut some slots on the bottom of the chassis and just strap the pump down. ya know?

yea, I could put the pump over the psu, but the water is still going to have to travel a ways down to the pump, I may as well make the distance the water travels be part of the res.
As for the velcro, with my pump in that position it's sitting right over my motherboard, right under an expensive videocard, and right next to a bunch of other pci cards(read: lot of things nearby to break). I occasionally take my computer to lans, and I would be
very nervous of it coming undone and crashing around if I velcroed it down. Even straps have a tendency to losen when jiggled around.
I'm thinking of epoxying four screws to the bottom of the pump so they are sticking out and drilling four little holes in the bottom of the case to match. Then I can just get some nuts and tighten the pump down to the case. That'll put about an 1/8" space(thickness of head of screw) in between the pump and the case for air to flow around the pump too.
