I'm looking things over, and I'm leaning toward passive on the radiator. The PSU and the heater core both have to be exhaust. But, if I turned the two 80mm fans in the rear around and made them intake, and added 2 120mm intake fans to the left side, I should be unbalanced enough to compensate for the 120mm in the PSU and still push quite a bit of air through the heater core without actually putting a fan on it.

With my reservoir low-front mounted, It can be a lot bigger if I don't have to worry about maintaining a direct air path to the heater core.

What do you think?

I could still get a shroud and a 120mm on the heater core if I went with a side window reservoir, but i really want the look of the low front mount.
