Looking for a little advice as I have been out of the game for a number of years. I originally bought a Danger Den Waterbox about 7-8 years ago and was intending to watercool but time and life got in the way. It is finally time to update this rig and I want to keep the case as it still looks pretty.
My goal is to just use a closed loop CPU watercooler and the card I am looking at (a 1070) has a built in closed loop as well.
The case has 3 120mm fan slots as it stands. One on the top and 2 down low on the front panel. Based on the closed loop systems I am looking at that takes all available fan slots and I am concerned about the normal air flow for cooling the non watercooled components.
Looking for some advice on where I should maybe consider drilling out some more fan slots and how all the fans should be oriented for the best performance in air flow. (I am not 100% sure if I remember what the standard direction on the radiator fans are for the 2 closed loop devices.
Here are the parts for closed loop that I am looking at as well just for reference.

Been coming to this site for years but this is my first real attempt at putting together any kind of watercooling in years so I appreciate any advice from people.
