I am looking for a case that has 2x120mm fans ontop or in the back where It is ready to mount a 120.2 or maybe a 120.3 radiator.

This is my first water setup so I am thinking of putting the rad inside the case and mount it using existing 120mm fanholes.

Does anyone know of a lian li case with 2 rear 120mm exhaust fans?

I like the antec 1200 but I hate the 200 mm fan they put ontop so its my reserve right now.

the silverstone SST-TJ07-B has 2x120mm on the top of the case so I dont know how that would work since its covered by a mesh square it looks like.

You would think someone would offer a case with 120.2 radiator cutouts on the top.

I own a laser cutter/ engraver but its only 35 watts so I can only engrave aluminum I can cut acrylic though no problem. So what I am looking at doing is drilling the rivets out of the top of my lian li pc7b plus and designing a perfect cutout for the rad and using my laser to etch the pattern in and then I would have to dremel it out.

This really stinks since I am used to designing things on a computer and having them cutout and not even having to look at them close because i know its a perfect clean cut everytime. I wish i knew local gut with a more powerful laser.
 
Silverstone has a 120x2 radiator bracket for the TJ09 and 10 I believe. I'm not sure but it might work with the TJ07 as well. Also check out BlueAqua's Murder Modded TJ07. Look where he mounts the radiator (murder mod not necessary for the mounting).
 
The CM-840 or Raf932 both can first a 120.3 on top. This is the decision I am trying to make right now. WHich one to get.
 
I Decided to go with the Lian LI PC-A77B. It dosent have the two exhausts lined up with 15mm spacing for standard radiators but Lian li sells tops for this case with 3 120mm fans from the lian li factory!

I am 99.9% sure I am getting this case. Also the entire front of the case from top to bottom is 5.25 inch drivebays. so this means I can mount a 3x120mm rad there too. I bet I can easily fit a 4x120 rad there if i Had too.

Note: the case top I am using is for the PC-A7010B it dosent have the front panel buttons etc. on it like the PC-A77 does but other than that it is a match. i will just have to mount my front panel stuff elsewhere. lian li sells a 5.25 bay with all that front panels stuff.

I am real excited about this case.
 
I am getting this case next week. I now have 2 mcp655 brand new I got on this forum, and I just scored a brand new HE120.3 off ebay, it has the old 17mm spacing it seems but I plan on mounting that one in the front anyway so it dosent matter. I have a black ice extreme III 120x3 for the top untill I get a thermochil or feser etc.

I am going to try and make any brackets etc I need for this with my laser engraver from acrylic. I got the last non sfx tribal kill resivoir off ebay also untill I learn to make my own from acylic with my laser I have some ideas.

All I need is a waterblock for my gtx260 and the case itself I will be driving to pick it up from performace -pc's in florida. They are just below daytona i believe about 2 hours from where I live.

I will be getting the side panel also and in the future If I need to I may laser cut into the clear panel to mount something if it works out.
