I personally don't like working with them, though. Then again, I think I would like the KA580, even less. :-/

What about adding casters or feet to your current case, and mounting the rad to the bottom, with fans on the inside? Then you could mount 25mm thick fans on the inside, and have them blowing at your bottom PCI card.
At 8.7" wide, that case isn't much wider than a normal case. I don't think it would fit my radiator and pump. mounting the radiator under the case isn't a bad idea, but it's a 2" wide radiator. So to have enough space to have the radiator and room for air to flow I would have to have 3" feet onmy case. Plus I would have to build an enclosement for the heater core as they can get banged up very easily. It might be easier to adapt your idea and mount the pump partially sticking out the bottom of the case. My case has pretty big (probably about 1" tall) feet, with an extra inch, I might be able to fit the pump under the geforce 4. I'll look more closely when I get home.
