I'm HIGHLY interested in the Thermaltake BigWater kit. Simple, affordable and easy to set up for someone who hates mechanical work and modding like me. I'm looking to build a little MicroATX box, Athlon 64 based, with the BigWater if I can. I want a MicroATX case with a window and good cooling, so I mostly decided on CoolCases.com's modified Enlight 7602:

The question I have is, the BigWater radiator is meant to mount to 120mm holes and there is only ONE 120mm in the case, the front, and I am unsure if the barbs sticking out from it will allow it to fit .. or if I will have to try something weirder.
... see? ...
I also noted 3 sets of holes on it, I kind of suspect they might be to mount to 92mm or 80mm? Is that the case? The other 2 fan holes in the case ARE 92mm and if it would fit one of those I'd be all set ..
Is this going to work? Or should I just get the Enlight with the 80mm fan ports instead of 92, and install a Globalwin Silentstream? .. I'd prefer not to because I'd get much worse performance.
Could I just put the 120mm radiator on the side panel intake fan (to pull in fresh outside air) using a 92->120mm adapter like this?...

... and would it be strong enough to safely support the aluminum radiator during transport? ... Thanks for any advice!
