I was looking through the watercooling gallery and some of the earlier home build solutions involved a radiator/fan mounted at the front of the case.
My current case has only room for one 80mm at the rear and for various reasons* I'd like to keep it and provide a possible watercooled solution. I could put a 120mm at the lower front, but wouldn't that mean pushing hot air into the case and defeating the solution slightly, i.e. heating up the other components ?
How feasible is a front mounted radiator/fan nowadays ? Also any alternatives like side mounted, or top mounted (the more extreme case modifications), or perhaps an external passive radiator ?
* tight wallet and propensity to use a Dremel.
