Yeah, the Tempest EVO isn't really SSD ready. Will one fit underneath the bottom hard drive cage?

I bet you could tape it on the back end of the hard drive cage mounts:

Ya, just find an area where you can tape the drive to. Shouldn't be a problem.

That is very ghetto lol. I noticed that a lot of SSD comes with a 3.5" adapter. Will these work with the tool less rails?

Maybe, I don't know for sure. I would still see if it fits in that little gap i drew out for you, that would be a nice discrete place for it.

This is what you would need to have your SSD sit into a 3.5" bay....

Has anyone been successful in installing a RAD in the top where the dual 140mm fans are? Am thinking about taking this on and looking for some advice.

I've never seen it done but I'm sure it's possible.

I've not seen a Tempest yet with a RAD on the top. I have seen one with a 240 RAD in the front where the 2 120mm intake fans are. It actually looked pretty decent. TBO if you throw a RAD on the top it might mess with the way the case exausts hot air and you would have all that hot air going into the RAD. You might want to look into an external RAD if you plan to put it on the top, just for exaust reasons. You don't want hot air raising into the RAD and heating up your loop...

Let me see if I can dig up the thread for you showing the 240 RAD in the front intake bay area...
