I had a build with an MCP-355 supported by tubing running for just over a year, no problems, and my latest build is the same way. Now I admit, I didn't (and don't) have a res on top of mine - I have a big copper 'T' instead.Am I the only one who is a little concerned about the pump hanging suspended only by tubing? Maybe I am overreacting, but that's not something I'd want in one of my builds.

One other (minor) difference, I also use automotive grade screw claps instead of compression fittings.
I'd definitely cut out the areas Bing pointed out, you get more radiator surface area that way, and surface area is your friend
It's already been reassembled But I may do it in the future anyway.....my biggest conceern and reason to not cut out the fan holes as bing showed is due to the hit structural rigidity would take in the process....this particle board is cruddy enough as is
