How do i know if my Lian Li PC-525f can accomodate a Corsair Hydro Series H110i GT? I see pictures of the radiator + fans on the inside of the case, but in my Lian Li the top fans are on the outside of the case with a removable lid. I don't think a radiator + fans would fit under that lid. Am i able to put the fans on the outside (yet under the lid) as they already are, and put the radiator inside the case, below the fans? And if so, how do i do that?

I can't find any pictures of that case at all. Anyways, if you can fit two 140mm fans next to each other in the case with a little room around all the edges (like 3-5mm) then you can probably fit the H110i GT.

It's hard to know if it'll work without any pictures, do you have a link to the case? My google-fu is failing me.

See, the fans are sortof inside but also outside the case. there's no room between the fans and the lid. I wonder is there anything stopping me from mounting the H110i GT inside the case instead of outside where the fans currently are.

From the looks of it, you would put whatever fans you want to use at the top and use the screws that come with the radiator to screw down from the top of the fans and into the radiator. You might have enough space to even put the fans directly on the radiator inside the case. So yeah, I would assume you could put the radiator at the top on the inside of the case. The only thing that might happen is you'll have to remove the rear exhaust fan if it gets in the way, but it probably won't.

If you want to be sure it fits, I suggest looking up the dimensions and busting out a ruler. You'll want to see if you have enough clearance between the radiator and your motherboard, along with if the drive bay gets in the way, or if you have the needed clearance from the back. Sometimes certain cases restrict radiators because they touch the motherboard.
