Wasn't there a bigger variant of 514X also announced during CES? This one only supports 3x120 at front and top. Biggest you can get is 2x140 at the top. Sitting down and redesigning PM01 should really not be that hard - it's a great case that's hindered by bad rad support on top.

I'm shocked, the fans are at the front of the case. How quaint.
