If they are included with the EK res, no harm done I guess.
But the pump combo only comes with two brackets, right?

They show that they are included on the product features page though.

In these two pictures that EVGA made and is advertising on their product page, you can clearly see C clamps in the case.  If they were not to be included, they should state so.  Otherwise this is VERY misleading.  I thought we were getting C clamps with our case.  It states that we get a water cooling bracket, and the only images of the bracket on their product page shows it comes with C clamps.

Just checked, EK doesn't seem to include these clamps with the pump/res combo,
so ill have to fork out another 9 bucks to get the thing mounted up.
 
C'mon EVGA, is it really the time to be stingy when I'm buying a +200 dollar case from you?
Especially when all videos and pictures show the darn thing WITH the clamps installed..
Drive cages are not sold separately, right?

Only thing that makes me unhappy with the reservoir situation is that this almost seems to be partnership with EK. They designed the bracket specifically for the EK clamps. In my situation the supports that come with my Alphacool reservoir do not fit within the flanges that are on this bracket and there are only holes drilled inside the flanges. My options are to mod the bracket, or purchase EK clamps. Even though the clamps are for the same size tube, I don't know if they will support the weight and what not.
 
Though, on the bright side, since the bracket is removable it is just asking for a 3d printed or metal fabricated accessory to be made for the case.

Cant find a good shot or measurement of the alphacool bracket,
but I think it might fit directly onto the back plate if you remove the U-bracket and use its screw holes?
 
In any case, this is why you include brackets, EVGA. :')

That's a negative Ghost Rider...
 
The flanges make it difficult to fit any mount that is not EK or similar size. Also, with the Alphacool tube, the mount attaches at top and bottom of the cylinder so the mounting holes do not mount up. 
 
Proof:

no he is saying to mount it to the case wall / motherboard tray and NOT the bracket.

Has anyone tried the XSPC RayStorm Pro Photon reservoir/pump with the case yet as it comes with it's own bracket?
 
 

I think it's pretty safe to say that unless you are using an EK reservoir, you will absolutely have to modify something if you want it to fit.  I have a Bitspower reservoir and I had to cut off .045" from each side of the clips to make it fit the EVGA bracket.

Great idea, XSPC Photon probably look very cool in DG-87.
Here is one more review if you didn't checked.
