Full Tower from the past, they don't make 'em like they used to...
Well, after realizing that I won't be able to fit 2 rads in my Chieftec Mesh case,
so I exchanged it for a vintage full tower one...
Behold:

The problem now is:
my rads still don't fit!!!
(the double rad fits on top perfectly, but I have a hard time figuring out how to fit the tripple one...)

My innitial plan was to arrange the rads something like this:

Maybe you give will have some original thoughts on rad placement...
Update:
After thinking about it and reading your posts I came up with this:

As You can see the rad does not fit 100% yet, i have to enlarge the hole at the back that I made.
And another update:
did some more work on the case today:

The tripple rads now fits on top nicely, just needs a bit of work with the mounting brakets.
Cut the hole for the double rad, also need to make some brackets.
Enlarged the PSU hole. Some other misc pieces removed.
