Title says it all really, the long story is, once upon a time.....I want to mount some rads (2x 240mm rads to be precise) in the front of the HAF-X, but the bottom hard drive bays aren't tall enough to support a 240mm rad. So my idea is to take all the drive bays out (both 5.25" and 3.5") and find some method to mount the rads in place (not figured that part out yet....any ideas feel free to throw them out there). I was thinking to mount them at the bottom (blue tack :D) facing each other, tubing wouldn't be too hard either but air flow might be an issue.

So, any suggestions, ideas or criticisms (no, 2x 240mm rads + a 360mm rad isn't over kill :cool:) throw them out there.
 
You can just drill the rivets out.
What are you cooling that you need all those rads in there?
But if you took out just the hd caddy you could maybe put a 120 in there and a 240 at the bottom not 100% sure have not measured that part yet. :D

NASA wanted me to run some stuff for them :D

Just two 5970's over clocked. Temps are hitting 50c under full load at only 950mhz, I'd prefer them more around the 40c or less mark. Also I have two spare radiators lying around, and lots of spare tubing....just need a second pump :D
