wouldn't that defeat the benefits of passing cooler air thru the radiator? I don't know the exact science here, but I would think common sense would say that the hotter case temps will result in more work for the watercooling rig to get rid of? why introduce more heat when you can isolate/eliminate it?

edit: I presume you mean blowing air thru the radiator from the top straight into the PC case (without a duct blowing air out).

another issue with that is other than the 2x12cm rad blowhole fans, there are only 1x80mm rear fan and 1x80 PSU fan exhausting air out of the case (2x80mm intake fans up front).
