This is an exact copy of the email I sent you

Hi, reason I wasn't around for the past 36 hours or so is becos I was
working.
Regarding your question, well, I intended to mount my BIX right at the top
of casing above the PSU. It's the same place as Turbokeu's setup.

Problem with that though is that the BIX will then be at the highest point
of my setup, rendering my air-trap more or less useless. That's also why I'm
gonna use it as a reservoir.

The reason why I decide of that setup is mainly cos I intend to have the air
intake from the top of the casing. I've planned to have a control console,
the airtrap/reservoir right at the top. It's kinda hard to explain without
any pictures. I'll post the final picture when I'm done.

If you are going to have your radiator at the bottom front, where are you
going to mount your HDDs? I guess it'll be alright though if you have just a
couple of HDD. But I have 6 so I really need the HDD rack.
Anyway, instead of having the exhaust to the side, how about having it
blowing down instead? You probably need to mount castors to heighten the
casing to allow for more space.

Another suggestion is to shift the PSU right to the top of the casing and
have the BIX below that. With a shroud from the side of the casing and
exhaust to the back.

I've also ponder on how it'll look to have the BIX in the 5.25" bays. Since
I'd only need 2 for my CDRW and DVD drive. Antec casings are known as
Chieftecs in my country. They are pretty cool, and their full towers are
larger than the PC70.

As for the dough, well, I've been working for 6 yrs plus and having no
commitments as yet (no wife, car nor house), most of what I earn go to my
PC.
Good luck and be sure to post pics too!
