Ok, I have one of the CMStacker STW-01 cases. I'm thinking of a bottom mounting for my radiator, but I had a primary thought. I know that push/pull doesnt prove to make that much of a difference in the end, but what of pulling from the bottom of the case. I know the Stacker has that slightly raised grill, which is beneficial in pulling air that isn't straight off the ground, but....how well would performance be in this case? My main thought is that i'm pulling stuff straight off the ground, but I can put the case on wheels as well.

Thoughts?

Performance-wise, it probably won't hurt much. But because it sits very close to the ground (without wheels), you'll likely get noticeable air noise as it rushes under the case and also, dust might be a problem. Wheels would be a better bet.

Got three of the same case and got two with Dual rads on bottom and putting a triple in third. Temps worked out good, but plz put the wheels on!
