For a while I have been looking into the Corsair Obsidian 800D chassis. As I look at it more and more I stray away from it, although it is a beautiful case. I really have been looking into the SS TJ07 case, but I have a few questions...

I have seen many rigs with the Radiator in the bottom of the case, where the HDD mounts are. Does the case require hard mods to do so or is it as simple as unscrewing the HDD mounts and moving them up into the 5.25" bay area? Here are a few pics of what I mean**

Also how would you mount the rad in? Some kinda mounting hardware etc..? or is it just set in place?

You could mod the HDD cage to fit in the 5-1/5 bays but you can also buy HDD adapters that work just as well. I used one of THESE (http://www.frozencpu.com/products/8923/hdc-65/Noiseblocker_NB_X-Swing_HDD_Adapter_Noise_Reducer.html) for two hard drives mounted in the 5-1/4 bay. You could also use one of THESE (http://silverstonetek.com/products/p_contents.php?pno=cfp51&area=usa) too but it's a little more expensive and it takes up 3 bays.

As far as mounting the radiator you can mount it with anything really, angle bracket double sided sticky tape.

i bought these and put my HDD in the 5.25 bay because i only have one optical and dont need the rest

I put the two radaitors in the bottom
It was an easy fix I just bought some L brackets at home depot ]
