600T - H100i - Push/Pull - Radiator Placement

A'right, chaps?

So, I'm going to be honest, I love the look of the of the SP120 fans, and I want them inside my case. Not so much for cooling, as it's adequate now, but because I like the look below.

Unfortunately, as I've got a 600T, there's not enough room (shown in the second picture) for fans to go under the rad. I've heard some people move the rad forward a bit, but still using the holes in the 600T roof thinymabob. Anybody seen anybody doing this? Push/pull isn't my main objective, but I'd like those fans 'neath it. Any links/advice will be gratefully received.

I've just been having a looksy across the internets and I found somebody who just put the radiator on top, with the fans underneath. I assume I'd need to cut the metal of the roof?

not necessary can move it off center basically forward by about an inch towards the window they use the mesh to line up some of the screws then drill holes for the rest of the placement :D

i think theres a video guide on youtube but tom or one of the other case modders can tell you more :D
 
Cant fit push pull in a 600T - /end.

To be fair, quite a few people are running it. Like this. I've seen a couple of others, too. The radiator on top is looking like the best job at the moment, though.

EDIT: Just seen your edit. Yeah, not natively.

as always it depends on the hardware, location of RAM heatsinks and MOSFET sinks,
and any other obstruction. some of the AMD boards don't have the MOSFET
sinks at the top of the motherboard and might be able to get away with such.
but most of the late model intel boards will likely have interference issues.
hence Tom's disclaimer in his 600t guide..
i guess enough dremel action can wittle a hole like the 500R roof to allow the
rad to lay in the roof trough and pass the contoller through the roof panel.

but its your case to cut on...
 
Dremel out the interior of the fan mounts, room at the edge for the tubing, mount the rad in the roof and then the fans in the chassis.
 
I just got done with mine. Had to cut the roof panel, as well as the door. It looks bad ass. I'm glad I stuck with this case.

I wish I knew how to upload a picture here...

I'd love to see it. You can use imgur.com to upload images and paste the link in here.

Hopefully this works. i also uploded a video on youtube, which i am not allowed to post a link here. so just search for user Leona197 and you will see my 600t and h100i set up.

The cutout looks good!
But put something on top of the Fans, if something drops into your Fans, you will get a big Fan / Radiator Salad, with dressing out of your Rad!
