Will a triple radiator fit anywhere in my full tower case?

from just doing a quick search on the case, i would think you would be able to, but you would need to a bit of work, from the looks of it (correct me if i am wrong) the psu goes in the top so that would rule that out, but maybe it could be worked to fit in the bottom, just my thoughts but maybe 2 dual rads could be better, on in the top and one in the bottom?

You can externally mount the rad as well, by using a Swiftech RadBox.

I was hoping to get a triple rad and fit it without any modifications but won't a triple rad go at the front... Hmm, front fan may be in the way.

A good triple Rad take approximately 10 5 1/4" bays. If it did fit, you wouldn't be able to have any CD drives.

Externally mounting it is still your best bet. I used a Radbox to mount my triple to the rear of my Stacker.
