You could take out the HD Cage and put the HD in the 3.5 bay. Then you'll have more room if need be. This is for the Lian Li.

Here is a picture of my CM690 while I was bleeding air when I installed the CPU/GPU water loop. Radiator mounted on the back with the pump on the bottom right. You could even put one radiator on the back and one on the top, but it might get a little complicated. There is actually room for another pump below the hard drive in the far lower right if you wanted, but you might have to open up the drive bay a little for the hoses.

Edit: If I ever get the time or motivation, I'm going to drill the tube holes in the back at the top and reverse the radiator 180 degrees. It will make for less hose and better flow and use of the radiator.

I saw one A05B where they removed the HD bays and stuck a 120 rad there, you could do that if you don't want to sling it off the back. A 240 rad will fit in the floor fine. That's how I'd do it. I'd move the harddrive up to the optical bay and mount it with a scythe silencer.

You could tuck the microres on the blind side of the PSU and hang the pump from the bottom of the optical bays.

OR! You could get a Apogee drive which is on sale for $75 at petras and drastically cut down the amount of stuff you'd have to worry about.

my only problem with that is mine has to be all internal.. i dont have room on my desk for a rad to hang off the back :/ or else the case will fall off my desk lol
