I'm also thinking about getting HAF, because of not really high price and considerably good quality. But i'm using WC and I saw there is a place at the top to install radiator for WC, but is this only 240 versions or also 360 versions? Because i'm using 3x120 one and I want to be sure before i buy the case.
It'll fit a 120.3 rad in the top. There is another fan mount a little bit further along, and it has vents underneath the top cover. But it'll only fit radiators with the mounting spacing as Black Ice and Swiftech radiators (ie no spaces between the fans).I'm also thinking about getting HAF, because of not really high price and considerably good quality.

How is then with airflow of the third vent? Isn't it very poor? I have Nexxxos 360 Extreme, do you have any idea if it'll fit?

Check out the link that I provided in my post to NCIX forums. This person has mounted a PA 120.3 up top with push/pull fans. But then he had to drill holes to make it fit.He had said in that forum the review would be up in hardwarecanuks soon.
