you could put the or the radiator or the fans outside,

I would chose to do the following:

red- radiator
grey- fans (sucking air upwards)

i was thinking about putting the fans on top, but I think that would kindda ruin my case, i just finished modding my case and the fans on top are ugly, but do you recommend putting fans on a radiator?

how else are you going to cool the radiator?
you can put the fans in some flashing mesh casing

JMke, wouldn't it be better to have those top fans suck fresh air from the outside in?
because if you're sucking air for the inside out, you are basically using allready heated air to cool down your radiator.
