I am making a system in a Fractal design node 304   http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/cases/node-series/node-304-black

I have a 120mm rad. What fan orientations would you recommend for the three fans.

In the front/side/bottom and out the back/top.

"LTT's official.."STOP. I promise you aren't LTT's official bagel eater or whatever. Trust me.

i agree with dalamo, just try to make sure your air flow is slightly more positive as it is a small case but so long as you keep it on a desk should be cool :)

You preferable want the to have it be like A=B+1 where A is the number of intakes and B the number of exhausts.
