Have been wanting to do this for quite some time on my rig. Problem is I have an s340. Radiator is very limited and no space for pump/res. How hard of a project am I looking at from 1 to get out the drill and mod.

 

It's not the most ideal case as you said the front you can squeeze in a 280mm rad but not much more, other than the other 120/140 options. If your up for the work it should be able to house a 360mm rad in height but that involves a fair bit of cutting and modding of the front for that.

Would it be possible to split the 360 between 1 280 in the front and 1 120 in the back? Then loop them.

Yes you can do that and add them up, but it's cooling potential isn't as good as say a single 360mm rad, or 240mm. Longer rads tend to perform better than a a bunch of smaller ones in series. 

 

If you are doing a CPU and GPU loop say a 280mm in the front and 140mm in the top it is adequate for it even with overclocking.

Ok sounds good.
