Im looking for a non-perminatant way to mount my heater core vertically to the bottom front of my case... any ideas?

i was looking for something maybe a little more secure than zip ties

im gonna mount the fan to the chassis....so no zip ties are needed

how do all you watercoolers out there mount your heater cores?

I used bathroom caulk once (DAP in a squeeze tube). It worked really good, and was a snap to remove with a small knife. It'll also peal off of the metal pretty easily too. I used the bathroom type instead of silicone because it's paintable...just incase it didn't all come off. But it did.

Just hold the radiator in place with tape for 4-6 hours until it sets up.

I'm using zip ties to hold my rad at the top of my case.
