So im getting a obsidian 750D, and I am thinking ill remove all the cages, and put 2 x120mm fans there. ill run my NZXT kraken X41 at the top next to the 5 1/4" bays and ill leave space for maybe a WCE fiji or 980ti Hybrid cooler when they come out. and run a 140mm intake at the back and then have the t radiators have High pressure  Noctua's drawing the air out

(which will make it Positive pressure in the case) as ill have 
1x140mm bottom and 2x 120mm at bottom as well and 1X140mm at back of case all as intakes and then the 2 rads pushing air out 

so to do that I have to take every drive cage out leaving just the room in 5 1/4 bays. i do have optical drive and ill put that in bottom bay, the next bay I wanted to put my 3TB 3.5" in there. is that rather easy to do? which company has the best converters/adaptors for that? 
And ill put my SSD in the behind the case caddys they have. and that will be an ultra sleek and clean look I think :) 

Just need pure white Noctuas! 
as I want the high airflow models in the bottom. so that means Poop brown haha :) 

 

Thanks for your help Im sure its an easy fix. but I just would like to know who has an adapter to go with the quick mounts the corsair 5 1/4 bay has :)

you can have fans in the front, while having the hard drive cages installed

 

Yeah but it looks crud. the 5 1/4 bays are out of the airflow wave, and out of sight for the window. which is why I want to do it. 

Colour scheme doesnt matter for an adapter dude. you not going to see it

Not sure how you can even see the fans through the window.

 

I've got a 240mm rad in the front of my 750D and I can't even see it, or the fans I have mounted on the backside.

 

The fans that get mounted in the front go in front of the hard drive cage, sandwiched between the front panel

This offers a 2.5" and 3.5" mount. There are others that offer 4x 2.5" mounts.
