I am debating if I should put my heatercore on the top (5.25x6.75x2) as a blow hole (blowing air out), or put it in the bottom front of my case (7x7x2).
Blowhole you don't have to worry about filtering dust, or moving one of my drive cages.
Front of my case I can use a bigger one, cooler air blowing at it, and the reservoir can be at the top of my setup so I don't have to worry about air in my heatercore.

So what are your openion? How much performace/ease of use will I gain by having a bigger heatercore at the bottom of my case, rather than up top?

Thanks,

Also, how much warmer will the air entering my case be if it is already warmed by cooling the heatercore? Not much right?
