In every build I have seen, the bottom mounted 480 Radiator is mounted on the windowed side panel of the case.
However it can be just as easily mounted to the back side panel.
I'm going to guess this is done for PSU wire hiding purposes? Or do people jsut want to show off their radiator and fans?
Seems the case would be quieter if the opened bottom panel was facing towards the wall, leaving the windowed side sealed up rather than vented? This would move the PSU towards the windowed side of the case though so it maybe this would be a bad choice?
