above or under the rad and should they suck air or push air?

Conventionaly wisdom says that fans at the top 'should' exhaust air from the case, however, this is the hottest air in the case. If you suck hot case air through your rad, your temps will suffer. Either way, I would have the rad below the fans. Just experiment which way (exhausting or sucking in fresh air) gives better temps or if there is a noticable difference.
