Very hot water is what I prefer for rad prep. As far as fan mounting I would suggest pull.

The barb side, based on the way the rad looks. BTW, that's a NICE looking rad you've got there. What sort of fans are you using?

Well I think this quote sums it up "dude that thing totally needs a missile launcher!" yeah the Antec900 is not a good candidate for a water cooling case based on my research unless your willing to really cut it up and seeing how things are crammed in. I'm going to mod a spare Liani-LI 60B Plus II case much more room to work in and things seem to lay out better with this case working on radiator location now suggestions?
