Default Modding the Sniper for water cooling?

Has anyone tried fitting a 120 x 3 rad at the top of the CM Storm Sniper case?

Found some pictures, it looks pretty tight with a 240...
You might be able to do it if you move your optical drive, the person who took those pictures was saying, that because of the rad's size (depth) the top wouldn't close.

The storm sniper and HAF922 are pretty much the same cases on the inside, with that being said, I was able to fit a XSPC RS360 inside on the top of my case with Yate slim 120mm x 20mm fans. It all depends on your motherboard as to what size fans you would need to get. You can see pics of the 360 inside in my build log in my sig.

Hope that helps.

Is it possible to fit a 240 at the bottom after removing the HDD cage?
