Gonna get back into h2o soon and wanna get this heater core: http://www.dtekcustoms.com/product.asp?0=205&1=228&3=17

I need a place to put it tho (need to cut a 120mm hole obviously). What would be the best place to put this? will it fit above the PSU?

Any pics would be VERY helpful. thanks!

I don't use the case you do, but I can say that the radiator and shroud work great for me. No problems whatsoever. And btw, if you order the radiator and shroud seperately from dtek you can save a penny over buying the combo! hehe

I've got the 71 and what I did was I put the rad where the drive cage was, right behind the 80mm intakes. I know it isn't optimal as the entire rad isn't exposed but it works well. Ambient 38C, full load 49C.

Same than Top Hat with my PC71.
I removed the hard drive cage, and put a 120mm fan sucking air through the rad from the two 80mm front fans that you already have with your case.

Yeah, I have an antec case but I just installed my water cooling and I am using the unpainted core from Dtek with a home-made shourd and it works very well....
