Any further musings on PA160 in the Antec P180? I've got everything I need to WC my system but i think I want to try a different case. First, because I have to keep my existing system operational while I put this all together and second because I want a quieter box than I currently have, the Antec SLK3000B.

It looks to me that the PA160 would fit in the lower front portion of the upper chamber with some modification.

I note a comment here from Ruiner that he'd prefer to have the rad isolated in the lower chamber and not venting into the box. I thought the tempeture delta from ambient on the rad was so small that this didn't make a meaningful difference. Am I missing something here?

Thanks
