I know there are tons of dragon style cases out there, I'm one of the proud owners as well. I've been pondering WC for this thing for some time now. My case is this exact model: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=11-125-445&DEPA=0. Now the problem with this case is that there is no room for a 120mm radiator unless i cut a hole in the top, which would also have to supported somehow as the aluminum top panel probly can't handle that much weight. But this case has dual 80mm slots as exhaust and I just recently saw a review of the swiftech kit with dual 80mm rads in this case. Now my question is, if you guys had this case sitting in front of you, which of those options would you choose? I'm not willing to sacrifice that bottom hd bay either, i want that fan to blow over my hds currently sitting there. Also keep in mind that I'd like to spend no more than about 150 bucks and keep everything internal. Also i'll be overclocking a 2500+ only for right now if that makes a difference.

I would either do this:
or use a single pass fedco 2-342 core sideways in the same spot with 4 fans instead of 2 (which is what I plan on doing this summer)
My 15,000 rpm SCSI drive stays quite cool in the 5.25" bay.
I wouldn't recommend handicapping your setup with a dinky 2x80mm radiator.

Actually I've thought about putting the rad up about where that blowhole is, I could easily fit a dual 120 up there, altho like I said I'd have to put a crossbeam in to support it probly. I have to have a floppy at this point tho, i have to install a raid driver every once in a while when I reformat. I've currently got 2 5.25 drives up in the bay, u think there would be room for a rad with schroud and 120mm fans? It looks like you have about 6 inches of width on yours, that might be more than I have for space up there.
