Project: Lian Li PC-A77

[fadetoblack]

so a few months ago i started hanging out here in the liquid cooling forum and i'm finally ready to go liquid! i needed a new case to fit everything in and was about to buy the tj07 but then i found out about the lian li pc-a77 which seemed pretty nice so i decided on that (had to wait over a month for it though). anyway, i havent gotten too far yet but i thought i'd start since i have questions. i dont have any previous experience with water cooling and case modding so this won't turn out anywhere near as nice as some of the awesome builds out there (especially knet's pc-a77 build), but ill do my best..

a few questions i had:
1. given the layout below, there is only one 120mm exhaust at the back. should i make the top rad fans pull air out from the case?
2. any other suggestions/problems with the general layout?
