Hi guys, i've been recently looking for a case that can accommodate a radiator 240mm long and 80mm thick in the top without having to modd it.

I found out that the Cooler Master HAF X can fit an alphacool mosta in the top but is there any other options on the market today?

I don't have a big budget but I hope it's enough (around 230$).

Any sugestions?

Thank's in advance ;)

NZXT phantom 820, you can fit monsta 280 rad to bottom (in push and pull)

here is a member build (i know its not a monsta in the roof, but the relation to having
one is there) this one has a 60 in the roof in pull.

this is the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2

clearance-wise, should fit, but by the time you add fans (push/pull) the rear fan is
useless, the CPU will be covered up, and you are kinda left with no visual appeal.
this member build is pretty much as thick as you'd like. as cases are designed for
60mm max rads. push/pull on two slower fans is better than a louder single set to
keep temperatures cool. unless you are looking for just WOW factor, 60mm is fine
for a roof install.

this could easily be done with 2x 240 x 60 rads and hold a hot OC both on CPU/GPU
and possibly 2x 240 x 45 Alphacool XT45 240 rads, but fans would be a critical option..

Thanks for the sugestions but what I wanted was to mount it in the top, I allready have the radiator mounted on the bottom of my cm 690II advanced, but I dont like the look of it. Plus I want a little more room to work, I know that the trend now is to good for increasingly smaller cases like the prodigy by bitfenix but I really wanted something bigger, that can fit my monsta rad in the top without massivly overhanging my motherboard.

 

So far The only option I see is the HAF X :/

 

Is there really nothing else?
