It's widely circulated, and the guy who did it is well-regarded, but even Thermochill's own test data doesn't quite agree with it. If you check out the thermal dissipation graphs towards the bottom of the link, you can see that the MCR-220 isn't actually that far below the PA120.2, even with 1200rpm fans.
Yes I was considering it, but it was only an afterthought once I found that the PA 120.1 wouldn't plug in quite the way I wanted. You suggested (and that table pretty well cemented the case) that two 120.1 wouldn't produce better results than the single 320 so I figured I'd leave that alone.

I'm pretty well convinced that I'm going to mount the single in the front with a push/pull and order myself a Fuzion V2. With that in mind, I'm going to put the single on a shelf until I get the V2 in rather than re-doing the loop twice. :)
