How good of a job will the koolance exos do with a ocd x2 and two 7800gts in sli? I would get my own radiator and pump, but i need to place the radiator on top of the case, as inside would be too cramped with two cards plus a sound card and tv tuner. if i get my own, i would need to get some sort of external psu for the fans on the radiator, which seems a little ridiculous to get a new psu for two measly fans. i guess i could also find a way to route the wires, but that will look kinda ghetto, and i doubt theyd be long enough to stretch through the back so ill probably need to drill holes in the case. basically, is the version of the exos thats designed to handle 700w of heat good, cause some reviews werent ecstatic about it.
 
you will be stretching the exos to its limits, I have an OC'd X2 and a 6800GT in my loop and it can handle it but the temps could be better.

you could get a swiftech radbox and mount a radiator on the outside of your case.
 
i found my solution, although being quite enormous. the new gigabyte cases are big enough to mount a dual 120mm fan radiator on the back, that case is cavernous. the rad box only has a single 120mm fan radiator, so i dont think that it would handle the system, and mounting two would be a tubing mess. the case is perfect for water cooling though, it has holes in the back for the tubing, hopefully big enough for 3/4" od. any normal radiator with mounting holes should be able to do what the radbox can, i just didnt see any cases big enough to mount a dual fan radiator on the back that i liked, until i saw the aurora case.
