    Yes, that's how I'm using it right now with a ghetto-style cardboard shroud. Of course it works. Still, as a 140mm fan just fits a 5 1/4" slot, that added surface of the rad doesn't implicitly add more problems, but might add a little more performance.
    No biggie for sure, but would be an easy way to gain.

    A 5 1/4" slot is actually 147mm wide.

    The PA140 prototype is 145mm wide. I have a CD-ROM drive sitting here, and it's 146mm wide. So the PA140 would fit, so long as you didn't have any in-bay guiding tabs in the way. Some case bays have little bits of metal that stick out that drives and the like can sit on, even with no screws holding them in place.

    Now that would be a nice design enhancement for mounting. Put some drive bay screw holes in the side of the radiator. So long as you don't use screws longer than 10mm (3/8") it'd be safe. You could then mount the radiator completely flush against the case ceiling, and not have to use the case ceiling for holding the radiator in place.
