hi to all i would like to integrate a 3 fans radiator in this case :

like this:



i would like to know if is it possible or if anyone of you have done that, because i have seen that on the top there is a grill and 2 holes:

and i've also seen that the motherboard is near to the top of the case:

thank you for your reply

p.s sorry for my very bad english
 
The holes are for a radiator mounted ouside the case is my guess. You could mount a triple on top of the case but inside in the top would be problematic. The cpu socket and memory dimms would have to be low enough to not interfere with the radiator. At a minimum you want 80 mm from the top of the case to anything like that. The motherboard would be the limiting factor. Give us a MB you plan on using and we could get some idea of what you want to do. If you use the MB in the picture it would suck getting memory out with the radiator installed if it would even fit.
 
on a review i've read "The Lian Li PC-A10's roof sports a bank of access ports under a small flap. Opening it up we find the usual USB 2.0 x two, one Firewire, as well as an audio out and mic jack. Toward the rear is another color coded screen obscuring a 120mm top mounted blow hole. Behind this are two small holes that are covered by aluminum hatches of sorts. These 24mm round holes seem ideally placed for use with an external water coolingkit."

for the motherboard i will mount this motherboard

maybe the solution should be to buy an a71..that is quite different

....but i can't find it in italy....it's incredible!
 
That is a good choice, the A71. I haven't seen that case, I must get out from under the rock more often. What video card do you plan on using?
 
I've been looking for a Lian-Li case that can hold my 2 PA 120.3 radiators.

That pc-A10 is a great case to watercool in- but not for a top mount rad. Remove the lower drive bays in front of the PSU and you can side mount a rad, fans, pump and plumbing in there.

Of course you need to modify the side panels and put openings w/ mesh, but it's a good looking setup for a great case.

I'll see if I can find you an example in my travels.
 
thank you for you reply fried! i think i will buy a pc-a71b....i think that it's better.....what do you think?
 
If I had to choose either case from a water cooling perspective, I'd go with the a71 (subject to availability) for the optimal placement of the radiator up top.
