				Corsair Nautilus 500 Radiator Modifications Improved Cooling

				I just purchased the Black Ice Xtreme Radiator from Dangerden with the blue 3/8" fittings.  My question is, will I have to replace the fan also or will the fan still fit in the Corsair Nautilus case?  Also, what fan would be a good replacement which I would eventually do anyways.
Thanks.
This is the mod that I am talking about:

				If you read through that thread you'll see what I did trying to improve performance... I changed blocks, fans, hoses, elbows, radiators and so on trying to get the best performance.  The one thing I didn't do that you can do to improve flow is change out the quick connect fittings and just run a hose straight from the water block to the radiator.

				Cool.  Thanks.  That sounds like a plan.  
Will the stock fan that is currently in my Corsair Nautilus fit with the new radiator (i.e. will the case of the Nautilus still close).  I am just worried that the radiator could be too big and force me to have to buy a skinnier fan or something.  
Thanks.
