antec 900+200mm rad?

[tarmc]

is it possible to mount a 200mm rad in an antec 900 case? might be interesting to try, but not sure how difficult would be.
or suggestions on another rad that can possibly mount in top of case?

I don't think there is enough room in the top of the case for a 200mm rad. Most people are doing a 240mm like this http://www.overclock.net/t/814953/antec-900-all-internal-loop-advice/10#post_10656286

looking at smaller rads, 140mm -160mm. will likely make a fitting of some sort install it in top of case

if there is a 120 x 2 on the top, then get a 240 rad. you want to get rads that fit the fans, if that makes sense. so if theres a 140 x 2 on top, then get a 280

only a 200mm fan on top was hoping to use it to mount a rad/fan but doesnt look like it will work inside the case. looking at possibly mounting it on top

A 200mm radiator wouldn't have enough clearance from the motherboard, as depicted by this image.

Only option is a 120mm/140mm at the rear. You have limited radiator mounting options, getting an AIO like the Corsair H80 would be the best way to go.

thats a dif ver of the 900, mine doesnt bubble up around the fan on top, theres a little space between the top of the board and the top of case

Take a picture, it will help to decide whether it is feasible. Even so, a low static pressure 200mm fan in a pull orientation doesn't help when you have an airflow restrictive radiator.

fiddling with drop box

work?

Looks doable but no guarantees. External mounting of a 240mm radiator with a Radbox at the back would be a safer bet but not everyone likes the look of external mounted radiators.

i was hoping to keep everything inside the case but its not looking like its going to happen. not alot of space inside between top and mobo. was looking at mounting a 200mm on top with a shroud & grill over top instead
