Meshify 2 dual 360 actually doable?

Good day.
I have recently built my first watercooling system, the thing is.. Components i bought were actually meant for another case which ended up being too tight for my taste so i bought this one.
For now i run a Nemesis GTS 360 up front, GTS 240 up front.
I have reversed rear fan for intake, and placed bottom intake as well and all rads are actually exhaust. I have 12 degree water\ambient delta and also 12 degree gpu\water delta which i think is fine i guess for the rad space i have? I will also try to put both rads for intake, and rear fan exhaust and see if it's chaning anything for better or worse. The GPU is 3080 with 350w limit and a 5800x. Ryzen is a very special boy when it comes to cooling, let's just say i ignore what temps it's showing but i did managed to shave off about 10 degrees compared to 240 AIO in peak load.
Fan noise is lower compared to my air cooled set up, but i am thinking of expanding with one less flow restrictive 360 rad instead of GTS 240. I am thinking of going thicker in front, like XSPC RX V3 or Black Ice SR2, i've tried to measure clearances, to me it looks like it will be a tight fit, i am not even sure rear fan fits if both 360 are not slim and i will have to lift the top panel to fill the res.. However i've seen people building dual 360 in Meshify S2 or Define 6 and they say layout is "similar", but i never witnessed a meshify 2 build. Maybe there are people around who actually did manage that? One thing that is important - i have aquacomputer ultitube 150 with 120mm fan mount, so i really want to mount it on the front rad.

Yea, but then again - its s2, not meshify 2.
Rads dont look very slim though. I have a 30mm gts and It's lower profile than this.
I am sure i can fit it without rear fan, but would it be optimal? I dont know.

Ah, my bad. I'm sure I saw a meshify 2 one with 360s though.

I'm running AIOs with no back fan and I don't feel it's an issue. Changing to custom loop hopefully this weekend. Will fit one if I can, but not too fussed. The top radiator fans provide enough flow for other components
 
you can always bolt the rear fan outside the case and run the wire through one of the holes by undo the pin connector into the plastic header block...it wont be as neat but it is at the back and out of sight and possibly the fan will run quiet as it is less restrictive

Fan outside means my cat can get hurt :p
Unless there is some filter/cover i can also attach from the back of the fan.
 
You mean something like this? Just the first one I found but there are plenty of options available if you need them. I would say not as good at cat-proofing as the fan being internal but depending on how keen they are it should be enough :p

It's funny but i found this exact silverstone filter for 140mm fan while sorting out some trash.
I used to have ft02b case, and this was probably filter for PSU intake.
