So I want to attach a 240mm rad to the back of my lian li v351, making it much easier to pick up and move; I want this to be hinged so I can fold it away when I want to move my case (there will be no cables plugged in so it won't matter).
I have no clue how I'll achieve this atm so was wondering if anyone had advice?

heres some sketchup for reference;

Looks like a non starter given the ports on the rad are at the same level as the top edge of the case. You would have to stand off the rad considerably to get fittings and tubes on. Plus the bigger problem may be how to deal with the extra lengths of tube that would be required to accomodate the moving rad, i.e. enough room in the case to fold up the tubes when moving case, assuming the tube is flexible enough in the first place.

The second part of your question I assume you mean a res. I would keep the res as small as possible in a SFF case, e.g. swiftech micro, or just go with a T line.
 
You could have the rad inlet/outlet facing away from the case, then have a small gap for the tuboing to go through and then take the tubing around?
