W.C. Keep every thing out side?

I was just think if this would work better. I see a lot of post saying this case will only fit this size of rad or it will direct the heat back into the case because it needs to be but on the bottom of the case.
I was thinking why couldn't you mount as many rad's as you want outside the case mounted on the wall with a nice wood cabinet that goes around the side of the rad's . Stick the pump and reservoir outside in the wood case also. You could install quick disconnects (cut off valves) were the hose enters and exits the case too, so that you could pull your case out to work on it.

Doing this would keep the hot air out of your case and keep the cooler room air going to your intake side of your rad.
 
This has been done and it works well enough but makes things more complicated IMO. Having the airflow from the rads to your case is not bad provided your case exhausts well as the air from the rads is not really that hot. A degree or two above ambient at most, this exhaust air from your rads is still cool enough to cool the mobo and other internals. I've built more than a few cases this way with good result.
Compartments or separation as in the TJ-07 is nice if you have the room but not needed. In fact when building this compartmentalisation was one of my considerations. I have since built a new nightstand in a similar manner with better access and noise control w/ dual loops on XSPC 360 rads. I think this type of setup is best but I can't see someone bringing this to a lan party or moving between the dorm and home twice a year.🙂
