Just a quick question.

I have a dual 120mm fan radiator. It's currently vertical with the barbs at the top. I was wondering if I could have it horizontal instead of vertical. Horizontal, in this instance, would mean that the barbs are on the side and not the top.

A quick mspaint of what I mean. The blue circles are the barbs. As an added detail, the dark grey circles are the fans.

This will also be in a t-line system, if that would have any effect on this.

Thanks.
 
There would be no difference during the operation of your system, but having the barbs sideways may mean it will be harder to bleed your system unless you take out the rad and rotate it.

In short, because your system is fully sealed with no air in it, it doesn't matter which way the barbs are.
 
As mentioned above no problems. Depending on your box's weight you can tilt the case after you install the radiator or just leave it loose so you can just turn the radiator. :)
