This is it, I am about to do some cutting ...

Which should I do:

1) Remove top PSU mount and cut 3 holes for 3 120mm fans, and all the mounting holes. Mount the three fans blowing out, sucking case air through the radiator and axhausting above the case. I would have to create a custom plate to cover the hole left by the removed PSU mount. PSU would be bottom mounted. Also, the square hole for the top 80mm blowhole would end up creating a void between the front two 120mm holes, and there would not be a void between the second two.

2) Cut a 'radiator shaped' hole on the bottom of the case, with the tabs for mounting holes. Mount radiator with 3 120mm fans in pull - sucking outside air in from below the case (on casters) and exhausting inside the case. Allow the rear 120mm exhaust and the top 80mm blowhole to exhaust this air. PSU is still top mounted.

I am about to cut, I just want a final bit of guidance.
