The 2 top circles above the psu are what am after. to fit 2 x 4cm fans to work with the Radiator.

I want to keep everything inside the case as it has a window and i want it clean with few led lights. The kit am putting togetheris:

any input fellos?

Case ideas?
 
What are the 40mm fans supposed to do?
That style rad works much better in a vertical position, preferrably freestanding (or at least spaced from the case so there is radiant airflow on all sides.
No normal 40mm fan is going to help it much-if at all.
I have some double-bladed, counter-rotating 40mm fans that might have some effect on that rad (believe it or not, I have one of those same units too, just in silver), but they are hellaciously loud and obnoxious.

How (and where) are you planning on mounting the rad?
 
I seen that rad somewhere before, I thought it would work well mounted to the left side panel, I was even looking closer at it to see if it can easily be made larger/smaller, it looks likeit would as long as the seperate channels are not welded/glued together. Do you know if that is possible?

instead of 2 40mm fans you might look at getting a "cross flow" Fan instead. there size and shape would work well in the configuration you want to do and puts out alot of air, i seen one that was over 100cfm and still fairly quiet.

This one could be placed in the top most drive bay and blow over the Rad, with vents in the back, or even easily modded to fit in the rear!

I have seen others but do not remember where.
