H100 Inside DF-85

[dr0be]

I was thinking about buying a H80, which would definitely fit in my Antec DF-85, but I saw the H100 for not much more and was thinking about purchasing it. Problem is, the top DF-85 fans are 140mm while the H100 only holds 120mm. I have been googling and ctrl+f'ing through newegg feedback trying to find the answer, but came up with nothing, so..

Would a H100 fit with push/pull (4 x 120mm fans) in my DF-85 if I used something like this to allow the pull fans to screw into the top of the case?

If not, would a H80 in push/pull (2 x 120mm fans) fit on one of the rear exhaust fan slots (which are default 120mm)? I've read the H80 with push only fits easily, but found nothing about push and pull.

why couldnt u mount it on both the back ones? even if the spacing of the fans is wrong u can just mount the h100 to the top one and it should hold it.

I guess that would work. The push fans might be hitting some of the motherboard heatsinks possibly. I think I may just go with the H80 for the lower price and less fitting problems.

Well, after opening my case and taking a look at my options, I realized the H100 on the rear fans would not work. In order to make it fit, I would have to remove one of the two top 140mm fans, which I'd rather not do. Guess I'll just have to stick with the H80 and can mount it on the bottom rear 120mm.

Also, I'm afraid either the H80 or H100 on either rear fan would block my 8pin CPU plug seen in that picture.
