This is prolly a simple/stupid question, but I currently have a Hydor 40 Pump that is going into my new case (http://www.frozencpu.com/ex-pmp-39.html), my question here is weither or not I can have the pump oriented verticly/sideways/upsidedown without harming the pump or the flow. My radiator fittings are on the bottom of the case and the Hydor is designed to have a horizontal flow go in, compress it, and send it out at a 90 degree angle from wich it came in. So, at the moment, there would be a huge loop going up and then back down in the middle of my case in order to get the the ports on the radiator. My thought is if I was able to mount it verticly on the side of my case it would be able to have a flow coming streight down go in and put it out parrel to the horizon. That would make my life SO much easier, but I just want to check and see if it would be harmful at all before I go do it.

i have mounted both an L30 and an L35 in every position possible. i do recommend the pump at the bottom of the loop with the intake at the top and the output at the side
