it cant be mounted on top.. nor in the front.. nor in the back from what i can see.. any modders here that can help?

you sure you cant stick that on the top by cutting a hole?

yeah are you sore you cant fit it on the top?
if you can free up the top 2 or 3 drive bays you could probably fit it in there
by sliding it all the way to the front and cut 2 120mm blowholes into the top of your case.
just an idea

yeah.. i was thinking of takin up 2 5 in drive bays.. i was gonna put in a dvdrw cd rom fan controller and a dual res for the 5 bays i got.. i guess i gotta kill the res and put a 3 in res instead or maybe a t line. leaning towards the tee for better flow.. makin one on top to let air out and fill water. and maybe one on the lowest point of the case to flush... any good places to get tee parts?

McMaster-Carr and US Plastics are good for most any parts...I agree with the T even if you didn't have the problem, its a lot more streamlined a setup.

Before you do that, though, consider your heat load. If it's a typical single setup then IMHO you don't need the massive radiator- it might be better spacewise if you sell the large one and get a smaller, more "regular" one.
