That's as cjgardens said
Going to depend what you're cooling
And whether the case will have plenty airflow
You could get creative
Put a set of castors on the case
And mount bottom fans on the outside at the bottom
It's not called custom watercooling for no reason lol
I have castors on mine partly because it weighs a ton
And so I can do stuff like put the drain port
Underneath where its absolutely at the lowest point of the loop
Can it take 280mm rads?

Desk top itx case.
I ones had a paid of 540mm rads strapped to the back of my desk but this time I’d like it all inside
As long as your other rad has fans extracting air from the case the bottom one will have air pulled though it due to the negative pressure inside your case, maybe make sure all your fans are extracting to maximise that effect? Personally I'd go that route as ultimately it's likely to be quieter than a single rad and lots of fans with similar heat disipation.

Never done small form factor
So not really my area
Would have thought more air flow
But that's just a guess on my part
No front or rear fan?
And of course how much fan noise you are willing
To put up with will be a factor

It will have massive air leakage the back of the case is grilled.
No front or rear fans.
I know people have run massive passive raids I just didn’t know if extra area was better then nothing.
Looking at the case it dose come with a 10mm spacer to make the legs longer. Maybe I could get a slim fan on the outside. I’ll have to find the spacers out
