Question Rad placement for Thermaltake View 51

[hunterchap]

Im planning on buying a evga hybrid gpu to get my computer up and running and then plan on upgrading to a full custom loop in the future. My problem is that the Thermaltake view 51 doesnt have radiator support in the rear and im not sure if i feel comfortable putting the radiator at the bottom of the case. Have any suggestions on where i could mount the rad on a hybrid GPU on this case that would allow for adequate airflow and not interfere with other components? Thanks

Top, bottom, or side. Bottom or side would probably be easiest. Top if the tubes reach.

Depending on size, bottom would probably be my choice. Especially if it's only a temporary solution. As once you go full loop, it looks like you'll have plenty of options!

If i chose to do mount it on the bottom would it be better to have the fans as intake or outake. Id think outake would be better to keep the gpu heat outside of the case but im not sure how that would effect the air pressure inside of the case.

I guess if i put it on the bottom toward the rear it wouldnt be much different than having it rear mounted
