My friend and I have the same case: Aerocool Strike X Advance Mid Tower

https://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=20998

He bought the Corsair H80i Water cooler for his pc and s far we can't find a way to fit in his case, Tried the back 120x120mm Mounting spot but can't fit inside the case (Not wide enough).

My new PC Build is coming in the mail soon and I have a Corsair H75 Water cooler kit

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_160_45&products_id=26099

Im kinda sketchy about the water cooler not fitting in my case, what mounting options do I have with this case?

Is it possible to mount the reservoir at the front of the case, and just move the Harddrive and SSD slots down to the bottom?

Wouldn't them bays be riveted in place?
The top panel shouldn't be to hard to get off, it should be held in with plastic clips, you should be able to see a couple of them if you poke your head in the case then its just a matter of feeling for the others you can't see.

Should be able to mount either cooler (H80i or H75) to either the back or top. If you mount to the top set the fan up as exhaust (blows threw the radiator out the top). And remember there are two ways to orient the radiator; turning it 90 degrees one-way or the other should get it mounted to the case.

Hmm, we tried mounting it to the top, but we aren't sure how to open up the top panel (There are two layers on top). (Need to open it up so we can screw the fan mount to the case)
When my build comes in, I'll read the case manual

Im pretty sure the bays can slide out for easy access to the fans at the front, but I should definately try and open up the top bit to make this a whole lot easier. Thanks for your answers Shady!
