900D maximum hard drive support with radiators?

Haven't posted here in a while, it's good to be back

 

 

I've found a 900D locally, and it's at a pretty good price. I was just wondering how many drives I could put in the case while still having a radiator in the top.

Information online doesn't seem that great ... either people are running lots of drives air cooled or have 5 radiators in the case.

 

From what I've read, I should be able to run a 420mm radiator in the top of the case, while retaining full functionality of my 5.25'' bays. Which, from what I've read, would allow me to mount 12 HDDs in the bottom, and 6 in the front. What I'd like to know, from 900D owners, is if I can fit more HDD bays in the bottom of the case, as I'm only running a single PSU (AX1600i). Ideally, I'd like to run a 420mm radiator in the top, 360mm radiator at the bottom, while running ~ 6 drives in the bottom, and 6 drives in the front. I've seen 24 drives touted as the maximum capacity of the case, but I'm not sure where that number is coming from. I'd really like some input on this from someone who owns the case, or is familiar with it. I'm running a HPTX motherboard, but I don't believe that will affect HDD capacity.

 

Thanks!
