After installing Master liquid pro 240 inside Master box 5 Cabinet, I cant fix the lower cage that came with the box as the radiator (installed in front panel) is obstructing the cage. I have an optical drive, so there is no space on top too. I am looking for options to connect an SSD and an HDD. The lower cage cant be placed at none of the positions allotted to it on the base of the cabinet as the fan of the radiator touches the cage even in the far most possible position. Kindly help.

It can go either way. But I still think you can install the radiator inbetween that front mesh, and the thing you currently have it mounted too, and then have the fans on that other side.

You should be able to attach HDDs/SSDs to the the interior side panel thing between the motherboard and front of the case.

I don't... think you can install an optical drive anywhere though. It doesn't have any front panel openings for it.

Or.... I think you mounted the radiator wrong?
You should put the radiator, inside that little cage thing, and the have the fans on the inside side of it. And then you can move the 3.5 bays to the left.

I will recheck the assembling of liquid pro cooler. Thank you for a very quick reply. Optical drive can be installed as the new master box comes with 'top removable' mesh form as in normal cabinets.

The radiator installation seems to be fine. In master box 5 front panel there is no 'cage' to put the radiator. The problem is that after installing the radiator, the cage on the base to attach HDD/SSD cannot be attached to the base of the chasis as it hits the radiators fan screw.

Yeah, I saw the picture at coolmasters website. Thats what baffles me. In the second link you provided the radiator is facing inwards the cabinet. Liquid master pro 240 should be installed the other way round(fans of the radiator facing inwards) or am I TERRIBLY WRONG?????
