I bought a RX360 and discovered i couldnt fit it nicely inside my case. A HAFX, then i bought a MCR320-XP radiator from swiftech, thinner, but now i dont have anywhere to place the RX inside without serious modding. Do i place it over the top of the case? Back? Buy another case? Dont use the RX?

Hmm possibly use a radbox or make a makeshift one out of a old 120mm fan and hang it off the back?

It'll fit inside...but there is nothing wrong with external. I like mine external. Makes things super simple to work with.

I would put the MCR up top and trade the RX for a 240 or something for the front of the case. I'd take a little less cooling to keep everything inside, but it looks like I'm in the minority on that in this thread.

Nothing wrong with external if done properly.
I am building one as we speak.
