Can the Corsair 800D fit a 120 rad at the bottom next to the psu without modification?

I am possibly thinking, 360 up top, 120 at the rear, and a 120 at the bottom, although this may do some crazy things with flow. I planned on using a mcp655 or equivelant pump.
 
I've also seen alot of people take the bottom HD tray out and putting in a dbl 120 rad down by the psu instead of a single. A swiftech mcr220 is not much more than a single 120 and gives you more cooling capacity.

Truthfully I'm a little disappointed that a case as large and expensive as that one can't handle more than the triple internally. Still a great design otherwise and there really isn't a case from anyone else that can handle a triple and a dual internal either unless u count the tj07.
 
I guess my next question is, would this config be a flow restriction.

Res>pump>cpu(oc'd i7)>360 rad>gpu(Gtx480)>120 rad rear>120 rad bottom> back to res

Yes, I'm just not too sure I want to hack up the bottom of the case. Do you know for sure a mcr220 will fit without modification at the bottom? or maybe the rear?

Edit: did some research, looks like you can definitely fit it in the bottom without modification.

Throw a 140mm down there...works great on mine. The fan/opening is 140mm already anyway. I just posted some pics of my system in this section.
