Watercooling with my case

Just want to say thanks for all the threads I've been reading a lot and am really interested in watercooling.

I'm tempted just to get all dtek stuff, I know I'm at least getting a whitewater. (poly or ally??).

Now the problem lies within my case because, I don't know whether to go 1/2" or 3/8" and also I'm not sure what radiator I should get. Case is this :

Aspire X-Dreamer II

Now as you can I can't put the radiator bottom right because of the LED. Getting a new case isn't an option, I just got this and I would rather stick with it.

So I'm basically asking, what would be the most painless way to mod my case, or, even better, what's a good sized radiator I can get. I'm planning to spend about $200-$220 on the setup so please just throw some ideas at me.
 
Go with a dtek setup. I dunno about other the parts really but I'd say pick between the procore or the JR-120 , look at the dimensions listed on the website and work from there. I'm a fan of completely internal and compact setups, so I'd say your best bet might be to enlarge that top blowhole to 120mm and mount your res + shroud under the hole, and have a fan blow downwards through it and into the case. Also, if I was going with that setup, I'd build a T-line fill system instead of using a resevoir.

You CAN fit everything you need in there with a nice big heatercore and high flow tubing -- with careful planning and creativity. Just make sure you measure it all, run some mock 1/2" tubes through it and see what it'll allow and where.
