Rad support for the SilverStone Fortress FT02??

hey guys!

a mate of has got a system in this behemoth of a case that he wants to do a custom loop in.

So I was just wondering would anyone happen to know what size Rad/s this monster supports?

with the 3x 180mm fans in the floor id think you'd be able to slap in a 480mm Rad and still have plenty of room to spare??

But then the thickness be my next question? And is the "Hot Swappable Drive Cage" removable like HHD cages in a Switch 810?

Plenty of room to spare might be a bit of an overstatement, but yes, a 480 should probably
fit. I've seen one guy who actually had a 560 in there: .

But TBH, why would you make it a 480? The case was practically made for a 540 radiator, I'd
say take advantage of that. You might need to do some slight modding, but nothing too serious
from what I've read (it might even be easier than a 480).

Example here. And this is the radiator you'd probably need for that (there used to be a Magicool
triple 180, but I don't think it's manufactured anymore).

My RV02-e (same internals) took the alphacool nexxos 3x180 rad, but it requires some dremel work. I had to dremel the bottom of the motherboard tray away. I also had to remove the sliding fan mounts/filters and take out their brackets. The rad is still extremely tight.

I actually hate the hosing in this though. I was pretty limited with options to get that done though
