Water Cooling Help

I had to do a couple of mods to my case. I had to drill one hole into the floor of the case to mount my rad, and I had to take the bottom harddrive cage out to fit the rad in.

Can I ask, when you mounted the rad to the bottom of the case, did you cut out any holes in the side panel for the 3 fans to pass the air through. I have been trying to mount the rad to the front of the case, behind the 3 fans but I need to remove the bottom section to get it to fit flush.
If you have just mounted at the bottom with the fans and the temps are ok I might just do this.

Thanks
 
No, I bought a windowed side panel with a few ventilation holes already in it. Do you mean you're fitting the radiator in the drive bays? If so, I know that there's some support brackets you can buy for mounting radiators in this way. What do you mean by 'the bottom section'? Do you mean the hard drive bay?
 
Yes I have brought the support brackets already :)

This was how I intended to mount the rad, but I might have to do some more modding as I will lose the bay ( I think )

I have 1 package to pick up tonight then I can start getting it all together and working out where I'm going to put it. How much would I be restricting myself if I mount the rad the same as yours with out the cut outs. Would this increase the temps to unworkable?

Thanks


P.S
The hard drive bays which need the case to be drilled to get out, whos idea was that?
