Looking for a radiator.

[surfsatwerk]

I'm trying to find a good rad with the input/output barbs on opposite ends. I've seen pictures in the case gallery that seem to be designed like this, but when I browse various vendors I can only find rads with the input/output side by side.

I'm new to WC so maybe these things don't exist except by modding a rad or I just haven't been looking in the right places. Thanks for any help.

I have a small case and I'm going to have to dremel out holes for the tubing to reach where I plan to mount whatever rad I end up going with. I have to live with the case for the indefinite future because of wife/decorating issues. The case has garbage airflow and only 1 120mm fan so I'm attempting to plan out a good WC setup to address my overheated cpu.

I'm looking to use the Swiftech radbox to mount a radiator on the back of my case where the only 120mm fan is. I had hoped to cut a hole for the tubing next to the PCI slots and then another near the I/O panel, because there doesn't "ideally" seem to be room to cut two well positioned holes for the tubing at either the top or bottom of the back of my case.

how about having the radiator upside down on that rad box. So the barbs are at the bottom, then you can have the tubes pass though your PCI holes on the rear of the case?

I hadn't thought of that. Hmm... after a little tape measuring it looks Like I could go with the Swiftech 3 fan model and just mount it upside down using the holes in the middle of the rad. Thanks for the input!
