Default Top or Bottom ?

Please give opinions. Should I mount my radiator for watercooling setup in the top or bottom of my case?

I have the popular Chenming 601 case everyone seems to have.

The radiator is a heatercore that supports dual 120mm fans.
The fans will be mounted towards the inside of case. Sucking if rad is on the bottom, blowing if it is mounted on the top. I will be making a coustom lexan shroud for the fans, mounting them approx. 3/4in. from the radiator.

I have read many people like to draw in cold air from outside the case through their rads, instead of using the hot air at the top of the case.

Also will be making a custom resivoir mounted to the front of the case, so i can't use that location.

Danner Mag 3, Heatercore, and White Water CPU block are already in the mail.

Please give your opinions and help keep my comp cool.
