a few questions... aobut rads and shops

Hello

I was woundering, what is the best placement for the radiator???
I was thinking about this yesterday night when i coudent sleep....

My first thout was to make a hole in the top of the case, but as we know heat rises, but if i directed the airflow down into the case would this help???
Or shuld i mount the rad in the bottom of the case with some kind of filter on the fans to prevent dust from entering the case? Or perhaps the side of the case?

Or shuld i mount the rad outside the case?


About shops: where du you bay your warer-cooling stuff from?
I live in Sweden (north europe if you dont know), and apparently waterrcooling is not verry populare here... atleast not with teh computer stores.... some sell Zalmans wc-stuff some have swifttechs older stuff but noting newer.... So is there a European on-line store that sells "high-end" wc stuff around???
Or perhaps a us/canadian store tht ships to europe??

Regards
Anders

You haven't seen NordicHardware; water cooling is alive in Sweden.

Consider a bottom mount, with the air exhausting out. You'll need to prop up the case (I have casters).

I opted to put the PSU in the drive bays, and do a rear exhaust:

I know but sometimes its dificult to find a shop/dealer selling wc-stuff here in sweden....

an other question, would two Storms in the same loop work? (nothing more in that loop). After reading the sticky about pumps i have dicided to try to find a Iwaki RD-30 if i cant find one ill go with a D5/MCP655 can any of those pumps drive two Storms???

I just called Iwaki here in sweden and asked them about a RD-30, unfortunaly they can only sell them 100+units at the time
So i guess im stuck with a D5/MCP655...
