Wait.... Your name is Alex Vance, or Alyx Vance (like the woman from HL2)?

Using 2 bolt hooks and a rubberband to secure the pump is a good way to go.

Very efficient.

@ObserverSUB Yes, suspension mounting does work well (I've done it with HDDs), but I've found that standard rubber bands tend to dry out and crack over time (which causes them to break). When suspension mounting, I currently use elastic strips purchased from a fabrics store or crafts store.

@ObserverSUB hmm, i dont see the point of this, i have a 1200 lh pump and it doesnt put out any noise and stuff? neither does any of my fans. maybe all you guys are just sensitive to noises or something.
