How do you fit both drainage and misting system under your enclosure?

Pictures would be appreciated! Looking to buy a mistking but struggling to visualize how to fit it all in one place under my enclosure? Do you use one bin for drainage water collection and one bin to source your water for the mist? Where do you put the pump?
 
It's not difficult at all. I don't have pictures right now but I'll send some in a couple hours. I have this wire rack (http://www.target.com/p/adjustable-...tpdph1|related_prods_vv|adaptpdph1|13892292|3), with the enclosure on the top shelf and a hole drilled through the bottom of the enclosure and on the middle shelf i have a shallow plastic bin for the water to drip down into. As for the water container, Mistking suggests using a simple 5 gallon bucket. Mine is right next to the cage on a little step stool, and the pump just lies on the carpet right beneath it. Again, I'll post some pics in a little while, but it really is not too complicated and nothing to worry about. Just takes a little bit of research and planning to get it all figured out!

I have a three drawer rubbermaid storage bin. Drainage is the top drawer, storage and superworms is the middle drawer and misting system is the bottom drawer including reservoir.
Sorry no pics with me.
 
Here's a photo of my setup. Pretty simple and straight forward. Let me know if you want some help.

I have a stand my grandpa built, it fits perfectly. But I don't have mist king..

Ps, my drainage system is a pipe going through the bottom, can't see it well in pic.

I have 2 five gallon buckets under the enclosure. One is the reservoir and one for drainage. I'll post s pic later when I am not on my phone.
 
Yes please!

So this is not "under" my enclosure... I didn't catch that part of your question - so maybe I won't be any help at all. My Rainfall system sits next to Ophelia's enclosure, but just in case another option is useful, here's a pic :) Enclosure is on top of a homemade table - except the table top is a grill. The enclosure sits on the grill and I drilled holes through the bottom to allow the water to drain under. I'm using a kitty litter pan to catch the water (I just slide it out and use it to water the plants).

I have Lucy's enclosure up on an empty bathroom sink vanity (got it for free off of Craigslist just for a stand). I have the monsoon underneath it along with both a 5 gallon bucket and mop bucket (both empty) that I use to hold up a concrete mixing bucket.

I drilled holes in the bottom of the reptibreeze for both drainage and to feed the monsoon tube up into the reptibreeze, put shower curtains around 3 sides, then used the excess curtain to redirect extra water towards the middle.

The water drains into the mixing bucket; I use a large, long tote lid on top of the 5 gallon and mop buckets to hold up the drainage bucket. There is still plenty of room for the monsoon and a small trash can for culling dead leaves and crickets
