So? Make a 1.25" tall pine dress ring to surround the fans, and top it with some hexagonal modder's mesh. A little paint to match, and it will look like you meant to do it that way! ;)
 
Nebulous, I just bought the corsair Graphite 600 T and as beautiful as the case is and I will never change it, at least until I do my next build, I too have the same problem up top.I have the xspc low profile rad but the problem is when I mount it up top I can't put any fans in push bc of the cpu waterblock mount and my RAM are in the way.Before I had 4 120's in push pull, now I have only 2 120's (enermax 60 cfm) in pull mounted above the rad with a piece of mesh in between and under the top layer of mesh.I must have lost about 50% or more of air flow. Not good but there is no where else to mount it and I don't want to go cutting up this case. My attempted solution, after replacing my mobo that I got today, is to mount these 2 Scythe ultra kaze 120x38 dfs123812h-3000 fans in pull to replace the enermax 120's. 134cfm @ 3000 rpm. I hope this helps as well as gaskets I will buy and hopefully keep the sound of a jet engine down with my fan controller.:shrug: Any other suggestions?? I am open to new input! ha ha
 
Hmm, not much you can do rainman aside from swapping cases again I'm afraid :-/. That case is really nice and would be a shame to go hacking it up.

As for me, I'm just going to hack my top to fit the 360 and just mount the fans from the top down. A little more modding for the louvered top with some mesh as Diggrr suggested and I'm good to go. No other way around this unless I shell out for a different case. Funds are extremely tight for me atm so a new case is out of the question. I'm going to work with what I have and make the best of it :D
 
Nebulous I see in your sig you have a rampage lll gene like I do. Ever had any problems with failing to post? I got another mobo, same one, and am going to put it in later but my old one won't post only when it wants too. I went through everything but the cpu. Could a bad or going bad cpu cause a post failure? It boots when it wants to and sometimes hangs on post. I know this isn't the thread for this so I won't go on past this, just figured I would ask. Thanks.
 
Not a single problem with mine at all since I've had it. Only reason why I'm swapping over to a full ATX is to give my 2x 470's breathing room in sli.
