mount the radbox somewhere it will get unheated air
it looks like the back of the stacker will be a bad location in general due to the large number of exhaust fans there
however, with some clever ducting you could place the fan in the front of the case (it will take (4) 5 1/4" bays and duct the exhaust out the large vent on the side of the case

I noticed that as well, bad design on their(the site's) part IMHO. However, in my setup im not going to even have a 120mm fan blowing air out on that exhaust port, I was thinking of just blocking that completely off. As you can see in the other pics, there is actually another 120mm fan mounted directly onto the radiator blowing air through it. As for the two 80mm exhaust ports at the bottom rear of the case, I wasn't planning on using fans there either........not exactly the first place I would think of when putting in exhasut fans. So now my only concern is the hot air coming out of the power supply.......do you think the power supply would be far enough up so that the fan attached to the rad won't be pulling in hot air?? I'd like to mount the rad at the bottom/front of the case, but I just don't see how I could accomplish that with absolutely no way for me to attach the rad/fan to anything (except the plastic grills at the front, which wouldnt be a very clean setup.) Thanks again for all the input, any more suggestions on how I should mount the rad, or do you think the radbox will suffice???
