Bitfenix Prodigy Upcoming Build

Hello,
I am planning an upcoming small form factor gaming build featuring the Bitfenix Prodigy. I am not going to be doing any crazy water cooling loops but I do want to mount an h100 while keeping the 5.25in drive bay open for a fan controller. My question is can you put the h100 in a place that doesnt block the bay, and if you can't what cooler would you reccomend that doesn't block the bay but has equal cooling performance (I don't care if it's a bit more.)
Thanks!

the Prodigdy boasts 359mm as it's depth, and supports 2x 120mm @ the top. so i'm sure the h100 would fit.

i may even buy this case my self lol

Depending on how thick the PCB is on the fan controller, It won't block the H100 (you can route the cables through the side of the optical bay), but the fan in the DVD drive will kinda suffocate (unless you blow air in from the roof)
P.S We only say 359, as external dimensions. 340mm for internal.

Thank you for your quick reply, I think I will just remove the bottom of the optical drive so it doesn't block the fan (mod the case). Really excited about this build (this case is awesome) will be posting parts and pictures soon! Thanks for your help!
