You really don't need to mod, bolt in the rad as if it was a 2x140 and it will stay in place you won't have good airflow but hey you put a 3x140 in that case with no mods

there would be enough room to mount one in  the top but you would have to clear it out as much as possible, removed drive cages etc and then drill your own holes in the top panel. the problem however is clearance from your motherboard heat sinks. you would be better off using a thin triple 120mm in the top and offsetting it as close to the window as you can and then putting a thick double 140mm in the front.

LOL. I think I am just going to ghetto mounted it...

I don't think I have to removed the top drive cages... and I might just drill some holes. or ghetto mounted it... 

Do you guys think i would see a big difference in temps if lets say the part of the 1st fan ( 1st fan being the in the front) is half cover with the metal? I'm just saying in case i don't drill the holes.

I really want to go with a triple 140 and not a 120... and its only a like $10 USA difference between them...

Either go triple 120 or mod, don't try jam a triple 140 inside the case, a ghetto external mount would honestly be better.
