As much as I've done to my rig, I just realized that I still don't know what the numbers mean when it comes to radiators. 360 rad, 420 rad, 480 rad, etc. Can someone please explain for a n00b like me?
 
Think of it like fan sizes. 360 = will fit 3x120mm fans. 480 = 4x120mm fans 420 = 3x140mm fans. etc.

Thanks so much for the explanation. Although I get it now, how did they come up with those numbers? I just can't make any logical sense from it. Or maybe I'm thinking too hard that I'm missing the obvious? *scratches head*
 
I like the 360 rad, also the extra thick ones, I have one, just forgot what it was called. lol. It has more cooling coils per radiator, and its usually twice as thick for better heat dissipation.

But yes, like others said 360 = (3) 120mm fans.
