As title really, if one were to remove the HDD cage could you mount a double rad at the front?

If you look at this pic:

It does look like you could.

Can't decide between the SG03 or the TJ08, i'd prefer the SG03, but the TJ08 looks a far better candidate for half decent cooling due to the more traditional PSU placement.
 
Yeah it does look like it might be a bit of a squeeze...

Considered 2 x 120.1's but it looks like the rear one would interfere with the PCI-E slot...

(Nice mockup BTW :D)
 
Just looking at this pic (HERE), if you mounted the rear rad with the barbs at the top, it prolly would just scrape in without getting in the way of the PCI-E card... same with the front rad, as long as its mounted upside down it should fit in fine... hmmmm

I wouldn't need to loose the HDD cage then...

Something like the XSPC RS120:

I've been reading that you are right gt, you can mount 2 x 120.1 sideways at the front

Also if I went for something like the P5E-VM the PCI-E graphics slot is actually one slot lower (than the board pictured fitted to the case)...

Now to look at pumps :D

Just discovered that the Coolermaster 340 Elite is the exact same case as the TJ08 and 1/3rd the price... whats that all about! :eek:

Yup exact same case, only the facia is different.

Whereas the 340 is ~£22, the TJ08 is ~£58...

I agree the TJ08 front looks far nicer, but £35 for a pretty front is a bit much!
