Ahhh, both very good ideas! Thank you very much. =P

As for the 2 fans, I am building a shroud that will somewhat resemble a funnel, with the rad at the 'bottom' and with the 2 fans sucking from the top, I thought a little negative pressure would do good for cooling (please correct me if im wrong) this shroud is going to be as air-tight as I can make it. Also while im on the subject, for the other side of the rad I was planning on using a tube/duct to bring in ambient air from outside the case. Im also deciding if adding a fan to draw the cool air into the duct would be overkill or not with the cooling properties of the BI extreme... At least if I use too much I can throttle them back a bit and have a quieter setup...

I appreciate your opinions!
