Can I put a dual 120mm radiator on top of the case, and still close the plastic grilles?
 
bump bump.

No, you can't :(

I have two 25mmx120s at the top pushing into a PA120.2 that is attached to the underside and the cover does not close. Its about 5 mm too tall. I am in the middle of my build at the moment planning on finishing up by the end of the month, and I plan on taking a dremel to the supports under the fins to squeeze the fans in. I'll try and stop by with some pics after I'm done.

How far along are you?
 
I'm sure a thinner rad would fit, the thermochills are pretty thick.

I looked at the TC, Swiftech and the Black Ice GTX, there was only about a 7mm delta between them, which isn't enough. I guess the point to my post was I have 25mm fans up there and the rear one still hits the top shroud. Most rad's aren't thinner than 25mm.
 
I was able to finally shut the top by shaving most of the plastic support pieces down on the underside. I am using 120x25mm Yate Loons.

I just used a dremel and cut them down, its still a squeeze but it closes. :)
