ok, im looking for some decent details please. i would like to know if a 240mm long rad will fit at the top of a CM storm trooper case: http://www.microcenter.com/product/426337/Storm_Trooper_Full_Tower_Gaming_Computer_Case http://www.microcenter.com/product/427862/Hydro_Series_H105_Extreme_Performance_Liquid_CPU_Cooler

or can i get away with a single wide cooler: http://www.microcenter.com/product/426128/Hydro_Series_H75_High_Performance_Liquid_CPU_Cooler even with the i5 @4GHz (assuming it stays stable) http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0434177

thanks in advance.

thanks for the intel man, helps a lot. i noticed that it has other places where it can fit 140's, got any recommendations as far as those go? airflow would be the priority, noise level is just a bonus.

thanks for the correction i miss read the spec sheet, and i was thinking of another case, but it will fit 2 140's at the top, which is where i would put the rad. and i would maybe replace the one at the back at some point with a fan that pushes better, which im open to suggestions as to what would be a better option than stock. so going back to the original question, im your opinion, with an i5 @ 4GHz in this case, would i be ok with a single fan rad., or would i be better off with a double fan rad?

Well imo would a single rad be fine,you could always add a fan when you though it would be necessary,but it depends on price between rad's too.
Comparing a 240mm rad 'with two fans on one side and a 120mm rad with two fans at either side isn't the way to look at it->single v/s double sided.Read some reviews about the rad's you're interested in for the best comparison.
The h105 would be the best,but at a higher price,what has you preference is up to you.

Looked at the case in your first post and the specs i linked are for that case.
