And I already have two fans in the top--two Rosewills. I was thinking of putting the cooler on the bottom, but I don't think that the tubes are long enough (even if I rotate the block) and there isn't much airflow under the bottom of the case. And on the front there isn't space for push/pull
Will it mount outside of the case either in the rear or the top?

You won't be able to use the side panel but at least you will have the cooler at an optimal orientation and have the heat leaving the case....
