I was wondering if anyone has their radiators inside the case, and if so, how do you go about getting a good flow of cool air over the radiator while at the same time not introducing added heat to the other components inside the case from the radiator?

I am building a new case from the ground up and i would like to move the radiator into the case as it is rather unsightly hanging off the side.

thanks in advance

i think most ppl have their rads inside the case. ur prolly gonna hafta invest in a dremel and cut the top of the case
 
All of my rads have been mounted internally. With one exception, I've always mounted them so that the fans blow out of the case and therefore did not add to the internal case temps.

The exception... well, pics of it will be posted in the next few weeks after I finalize the build... just got all the parts and water in... test running it now... will have pics as soon as all the mod work and clean-up is done.

fans blowing air out of the case is warmer than air outside. you can see temperature differences when u'll have it other way around. u'll have no internal heat build up if you have good airflow (exhaust).
