I'm trying to figure out what radiator will fit the best on the top of a Lian Li A05n case. It will be external so I also need to figure out a good way of mounting it.
My current idea is to mount either a thermochill 140.3 or 120.3 using one of the thermochill shrouds to mount the radiator. The fan hole side would slip underneath a fan grill that I already have on top of my case (triple 120 iandh stealth grill) if I were to mount a 140.3 which would create a sandwich of case-shroud-grill and the pressure would keep the shroud in place. If I were to mount the 120.3 I would just have the screws go through both the shroud and the grill.
In both cases the shroud would be upside-down and I could just screw the shroud to the sides of the radiator and would be a pretty good looking mount.
What I need to know in order to figure out which to use are some measurements on both radiators and a shroud.
Here are some pictures of the measurements I need:

Thanks for any help and I'm definitely open to suggestions. I just want to make sure I can still use the top ports of the case with a large radiator on there. Also, I want to stick with a thermochill radiator because I like the way they look and they offer excellent performance. Not to mention they also have holes on the side of them for mounting.
