Looking to put a Black Ice Extreme Radiator into a case. Only ones I could find with a 120mm exhaust is these ones ( There all pretty much the same):
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=&submit=Go&description=120+mm+exhaust
However, there is no mb tray and thi is my first Watercooling setup, I think this might be helpful for maintenance. Maybe I should get a lian li and cut a blowhole up top? Or maybe one can mod the back to take a bigger fan? Which one? Compusa has a big LianLi pc82 case for only 150. So I guess the main q is which case and corresponding placement.
Also, if you think I shouldnt get a BIX, and instead lets say a dtek heatercore, please fill me in on the size requirements.
FYI. I'm thinking hydor l30
1/2" ID tubing.
BIX
Swiftech MCW5000-A w/ adapters to 1/2" hose barbs.
Some sort of res.
Future: Pelts(doubtful/maybe), GPU block (for sure)
Thi is basically the dangerden power user kit with swifty block. ! more thing actually, is it cool to use these adapters or should i stick to maze 3. Then I'll need the maze 3-1 in case i ever want to pelt right? Can I use it without for now?
You'll notice here:

The black ice pro and extreme both say 1/2" OD tubing. But for the pro it says 9.5mm barbs and the extreme says NOW 12.5mm barbs. I think it is ready to accept 1/2" ID tubing. Sorry for the long post. Some of its just background and FYI. Thanks
