I have a SilverStone TJ09 case that I'm putting a water cooling system in, & need some advice/suggestions. I'm using a Hardware Labs Black Ice Stealth GT 360 and 3 Logisys 120mm fans (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999480) which are 70cfm.

I'm mounting the rad inside the case on top incorporating the factory grill. Do you think it would be better to have the fans on top of the rad pulling air through the grill and pushing through the rad and into the case, or fans below the the rad blowing through the rad and exiting out of the case? Would there be much of a difference?

In my opinion, neither. I experimented with this and the best result was:

Case - Radiator - fans pulling cool air into the case through rad.

sounds good I'll set it up pulling through rad. Thanks
