So here's the setup, currently have a radiator in push/pull. But I currently have a deall for 20% off any and all fans on newegg. So I was thinking would there be any benifit to say a push push/pull pull setup? Or even say a push push/pull?

Here's an interesting take on the idea...

Actually, you would gain more by adding a spacer between your fans and the radiator. Having the fans directly on the radiator is somewhat inefficient because the airflow is concentrated in a circle that matches the shape of the fan blades. The better way to do it is to use a spacer to get the fans at least an inch away from the fans. Just make sure that there is no air leakage around the outside of the spacer.
