Yeah, you would just have to attach the two top front fans to the radiator and mount it like that.  You wouldn't need the extra long screws and you could still do push/pull if you want.

 

Here's a visual representation I did in Paint.  It's not drawn to scale so take note of that because you could still add two 120/140 mm fans in the top, and one 120 mm fan in the rear if you wanted.

 

Green are 120 mm fans, red is 240 mm radiator, purple is motherboard, and orange is power supply.

Looking for any sort of recommendations for Mid/Full Tower Cases with some nice looking tempered glass; I've looked at the Corsair 460x and 570x but low profile ram is needed to fit a radiator on the top of the case, and the front of them with RGB just looks too good to put a radiator there.

 

- I've got a 7700k and I'd still like decent airflow to a radiator on either the front of top of the case, 

 

Would love some recommendations and links :) 

Would also love to see some builds if you guys have photos!

 

Thanks all

This?  I'm currently watching it ahah. He also did an Evolv Tempered Glass case, but even other youtubers have said the airflow is terrible inside that.

Not really new to forums, just new to this one aha. Seems to be lively here still. Will give it another watch, Jayz did this video about the similar case too and why he doesn't use it.

You can do Push/Pull with a 280mm rad in the front without having to remove the three 120mm fans in the Corsair Crystal Cases.  It is damn sexy.  I plan on doing the same thing.  Here's the screws you might need if your radiator didn't already come with some: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015BSAQ0O/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AQ8OIL3FGVKZE&psc=1

Holly fuck, those two 200mm fans look incredible. Guessing it isn't released yet?

Still looking like a prototype and sample

Aren't all the front fans 120mm? I would need screws for the left fans into rad wouldn't i?

Yeah the fans that come with the case are 120 mm.  And I don't think you would need any additional screws.  Just use the screws that came with your radiator and the ones that come with the case fans, and if you buy additional fans they should come with screws as well.
