Radiator and fan location

[Robergal]

I need some help here people! The Rad I tried to mount in the top of my case sprung a leak. Ok I put a screw in it. Anyway I bought a heatercore and a shroud.

I loved the look I had before-

The new rad mounts pull the two fans apart, leaving a gap to fill or I can flip the fans inside and mound the core to the top flush.

I really liked the fans up top however they were exposed and fingers could be hurt.

This is the Core and shroud, PrimoChill HE-Core 2x120mm. And the Smoke colored shroud.

The question is do I try to keep the fans on top

and the air blowing -IN
or
The fans blowing out I will make the hole square with the rad blow air -OUT
or
the same fan inside - IN

This system will be totally watercooled-
1. CPU-Apogee GT
2. Video card 3870 with the MCW60-R
3. N/B MCW30.

I do not believe there is anything putting out enough heat to run the case warm and there are (2) 120mm fans blowing out the back of this case with 1 120 for intake that blows over the Harddrive.
Can add another 1-2 in front or bottom if needed.

Thoughts and opinions welcome but hurry!!! I wanna finish this case before AMD comes out with an umber CPU. LOL

Bringing the coldest air across your radiator is probably the best bet. ie the air outside your case.

Get a radiator grill, it will greatly increase the look.. cover up some of the jagged edges. Plus it will prevent fingers going into the fans
