question

[water_cooler 20]

should i have my heater core on the out side of my case or the inside

[SkiFletch]

up to you. outside in general can be used to get slightly lower temps, but its kind of a pain in the ass routing the tubes exteriorally... your choice

Its best if you can mount it outside the case.. that way when its goin its not blowin heat into your puter or blowin hot air from inside your puter through the core. Most of what Ive seen guys do put them in the front of the case under like the hard drive with a hole out the front of the case blowing cold air from the outside through the core.:burn:

The air that passes through the heatercore is maybe 2c warmer.. AT MOST. It is not all that warmer... inside or outside, you are gonna get about the same temps, with maybe outside yielding a bit cooler...
