The internal watercooling kit is one level of perfection, but can never match the efficiency of an external unit. Very nice.
Actually, this kit allowed my internal temps (case) to drop by 3C over my previous setup, and it allows me to have a TON of room in my case area. My temps also go back down (after gaming or cpuburn) much faster than before. My case temps used to slowly creep up and remain inflated even with 3 internal fans blowing.

Now, be it that my previous heatercore stunk?? or this setup is better than my dual fan push/pull config... I don't really know. I fail to see how not putting "any" residual heat into the case, and not using any heated air to cool the rad can be a bad thing. I made sure there is no holes for air to bleed out, it all goes through the rad. I consider a "very nice" from you airsipirt, high praise indeed.

why not just have it on the outside without the prizm..? just flat?
Without the tent effect, the air will have no way to have air flowing through the rad. If it was flat against the case, it would be very difficult to release any heat from the rad via airflow. Plus, I don't have to use hotter case air. I made sure the profile of the angle didn't make the air have to "turn" to enter the rad. Its a strait shot, and with the angle, it blows through the rad a tiny bit longer. (not much.. but hey, I'm reaching here )
