I can get a decent deal on some WD RE 500gig drives and was thinking of adding them in raid 0 to my system but dont have anywhere to mount them, was thinking that maybe there is a way to mount above the 2 120mm fan I have on the bootom of the case. I nolonger have a 3.5 and 5.25 cages in thew case.

dont do it because you would get no airflow at all past it.  it would be better to mount 1 fan and use the full drive stack.

I was thinking to mount them verticaly and I can put in a HHD bay as there is a rad in the front.

I think it would be easier to come up with suggestions if you posted a picture of your actual rig and not a standard one :P
