I was thinking about puting the heater core inside the back of the coil and then simply running a hose to the outside of the case to get water to the heater core. THe line comming from the WB will be split just before the coil and one will go to the coil and the other to the heater core.
The heater core should stick out a bit in the back. THen putting a shroud after that and another fan to pull all the warm air between the radiators out, almost creating a sort of wind tunnel.
I am suspecting the fan will stick out about 5" out the back of the case.
Was that what you had in mind also BigBen2k?

Essentially, yes. Actually I was thinking about 2 aquacoils, I have to pay more attention! 2 Aquacoils, soldered back to back, cut the back of the case open, then slip it in. The shrouding could be trimmed, and with any luck, it wouldn't stick out all that much. Alternatively, you could slip a fan between those coils.
You are really cramped for space. I can see you have a big case, but it looks like it's not as deep as you need it to be.
I'll mention a blowhole, even though I don't like them myself. You could cut out the top of the case to fit a big mamma halfway down, then stack fans either on top of it, or under it.
I don't know, my first priority would be to try to eliminate that bottle and replace it with a res, but since you're changing your configuration, it just has to be last.
