First off, it sucks ordering from the United States. I get charged Brokerage FEE, GST,PST so everytime a package comes I have to pay like $30 - $50 at the door.
Second, Yes! I should get the rest of my stuff on Monday or Tuesday!

Intake. This way the coolest air goes through the rad.

Exhaust. Warm air rises, why fight it?
If you have them as intake the air will be blown through the case to escape out the cracks and fan holes, only to rise and be recirculated into the rad. Probably not to any great degree, but thats why I'd do it.

Id go with an exhaust setup as mentioned before. While it might hurt water temps slightly it will be FAR more forgiving on the overall case temps which honestally are more important since you are going to kill the airflow when going to water

EDIT: Oh god I think Im too late... I hope you measured your PSU clearence before cutting the rad-grill hole. Id hate for your project to be ruined if you cant fit your PSU in the box with the rad installed

7 3/4" Clearence, Im pretty sure thats enough. I used a purepower 550w and there was 1 1/4" clearence still left. I was hoping to get a PCP&C so I think im good

But if he does that wouldnt it add hot air to the inside of the case? I'm asking to make sure I dont goof up on mine.Daddyjaxx said:
That grill looks slick. I like that alot. You did a great job on the cutting. Its clean looking.
EDIT: I didnt realize there were two pages. Ignore my post. I can be dumb sometimes. Its early and the kids woke me up on purpose.. in a bad mood and just got my first cup of joe in my hands. Sorry.

thank you, I've decided im going to do Intake. I can always switch it to exaust and see the difference.
