where to mount radiator?

[blueadept33]

I ordered the h20-120 premium from swifty, I got an antec p-180 case.... I am wonder where I should mount the radiator?

I think the two options I have are mounting it in the lower front of the case where the air comes in which seems most logical since the air coming in will be cooler (hopefully it fits there, and the resevoir/pump will be in the 5.25bay right above it making things neat) otherwise I remove the back 120mm fan and mount it there by the CPU, but since it will be blowing out semi- hot air it doesn't seem like the greatest. Anyone have the p180 and using a swifttech 120mm radiator? Thx!

I alos have the H20-120 kit and a P180 and I'm also not sure where the best place to mount the rad would be. I had a few questions about that as well.

I was thinking of removing the intake fan on the top of the case and mounting the rad in its place. Then take the fan and screw it on the rad so that it's sucking the air through it. Since the rear fan is sucking the air out and there will be some air flow from the front vent as well, the heat coming off the rad should be removed pretty fast right?

If I leave the computer on for long periods, would having the radiator inside rather than outside affect the water temps to the point of overheating?

If I mounted the radiator on the back of the case using the Rad box, should I remove the rear exhaust fan or leave it?
