Looking for Swiftech rad dimensions

Hey all. I'm looking for some specific measurements for the Swiftech Quiet Power 320 rad. I need to know the distance from center to center of the barbs. I want to know if they will fit the knock-out plate openings for my Lian Li PC-A10B case.
 
I already checked that out, but the link doesn't work. It keeps taking you back to the top of the page... :(
 
OK, that might be right. But unfortunately, it doesn't match up with my case. From cenetr to center I have less than 100 for sure. Dang, these holes are too big for the Hardware Labs rads, but too small for the Swiftech? WTF Lian Li????
 
Hey, I just remembered something - the 220 and 320 versions use threaded bards instead of the fixed barbs. From the pics I've seen it looks like there might be some of a ring around the hole, basicly where the fitting was sweated in place. That ring may force the holes to be closer together. I know they are defnitely farther down that the 120 version.

Can somebody please confirm the measurement for the 320?

Thanks for your help so far game14. The really weird part is that this case is made with knockouts on top to allow tubes to run through the top of the case, and the fan mounted on top of the case is meant to be used as the fan for the rad. It's oly one fan, so if it doesn't work with the Swiftech, and it doesn't work with the Black Ice rads (and the kock-offs), what does it work with?
 
I just measured the center to center of my new MCR220 and the distance is 3 1/2 inches without the screw on barbs attached.
3/8" barbs attached center to center is 3 9/16 inches
1/2" barbs attached center to center is 3 9/16 inches
Hope this helps since the only difference between the MCR220 and MCR320 is the extra fan and longer length.
If you have trouble mounting your rad, I've used the Swiftech MCB-120 "Radbox" to mount my
2 MCR220 on the back of my case just using the existing fan holes on the back. No need to drill or cut holes in the case.

Swiftech MCB-120 "Radbox"
 
Awesome. Thanks! I think that might work. As you can see from this picture:

...the Lian Li PC-A10 has two knock-outs between the top 120mm fan location and the back of the case. These are meant to be used with arad and tubing, and I was always under the assumption that the rad would lay on the top of the case and the barbs would fit inside those holes. Using a radbox would not allow the top fan to be used, and using a CoolingWorks CoolShroud would not work with a double ot triple rad like I hope to use.

lostiam2, you're positive right? I'm hoping to order a rad quick and not have any issues. I originally had a GTS360, but sold it when I got this case and bought a GTS120 thinking it would work. I was very dissapointed to see the holes did not line up correctly, especially since the hardware labs rads are all the same and they are probably the most popular rads around. I was hoping to use a GTS, but the Swiftech triple will have to do.

Thanks again!
