Hard drive placement

So I'm creating a new build, and my parts came in.

I've been doing some research on fan/radiator placement. I would like to mount my liquid cooler radiator as a front intake with the fans in pull orientation, my question is, how do I remove the hard drive cages?

Also, I don't believe my radiator and radiator fans will fit with the hard drive cages installed where they are. How do people do it? Where do they put their hard drives if their cages are removed? Is there anywhere else I can put it? I plan on using my 1 TB in this build, 2 TB, and 500 GB SSD.

Thanks for any help I can get.

Might not be the best choice of case for your choice of components.

Typically, removing a drive cage either means you go without; or there's alternate mounting available (behind the MB tray etc). Doesn't appear to be anything with that case though.

An S340 might be a better option - unless you need those 5.25" bays? The 240mm rad will mount at the front, and the HDD trays still sit below the PSU shroud.
