But about those BIX and BIX2... can I mount the fan on both sides or on one side only?
Thnx

The Black-Ice-Extreme I have has 120mm fan mounting holes on both sides, i.e. you could "sandwich" it between two fans if you wanted, although I only use a fan on one side of my unit.
I've read that mounting a fan directly on a Black-Ice radiator is really too close, ideally one should probably have some sort of spacer/shroud that would move the fan further away to reduce the "dead spot" behind the fan motor - of course either a fan sandwich or additional shrouding adds up to taking up more space in your case.
