I've done this with a MM Kool Rite tower (a 4" column, 20" box model) and it works brilliantly, just be sure to attach it to something solid. MM towers come with great very strong stainless steel bolts. I did add two small screws to the top of the tower to prevent it from falling off
DO NOT do this with other glyclol towers. A perlick installer did this a couple years ago at our local Hooters and it's a mess now. Perlick towers will start to come apart in a matter of months (the screws holding the column to the base arent strong enough). Perlick towers also have slight condensation issues, which become very evident when mounted upside down. The condensation will collect in the "top" (bottom when upside down) of the tower and smell bad. In the perlick install that went bad, the bud faucet started leaking the other day. Because of the design of the tower lid, all of the beer ran into the tower. You can't remove the "top" of perlick glycol towers without drilling out rivets, so it's a big mess to clean up over a very small issue.
I would guess that other towers besides perlick would be even worse. Stick to a Kool Rite and you'll be OK.
