Hello so i am thinking about mounting a 360mm radiator at the front of my case (here) (https://www.amazon.com/Phanteks-PH-EC416PSTG-WT-Eclipse-Tempered-Glacier/dp/B01N9JPTES/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1493086382&sr=1-4&keywords=phanteks+eclipse+p400s)

I was wondering if anyone knew where to mount a hard drive in this case because i will have to take out the drive cage to fit the radiator? I cant find any of the 2.5" to 3.5" adapters for this case, and I have a 1TB Seagate Barracuda HDD. If there is an adapter please let me know

Thanks.

I have the P400S and even without the drive cage (I assume you're referring to the area on the bottom front with 2 x 3.5 bays), or installing the optional drive bays that can go in place of fans, you still have the 2 x 2.5" slots on the side (backside of motherboard)? I have an Samsung 850 EVO M.2 and then installed my old 2.5" Crucial MX200 in one of back bays.

The 360mm radiator would also block of the mounts for these drive cages. The only thing I can think of is you should be able to leave the cages if you only put the top two fans on the radiator. If the rad is thin enough you should have enough space without the bottom fan
