Initially I thought to leave rad unscrewed to disk enclosures (because of rather tough fit with fan on), but why not to do some less important small touches, when it's still eternity till I get HW to install in case?



Top screws are on original fan mount extruded “lips”, that were bent back in (PIC). Did that by making very shallow (don't cut in too deep) cuts on bend angle top to easier bend back with pliers. As for lower screws .. unfortunately left one goes right in between lower 120mm mounting lip and cut, and right one .. I just dremeled off too much - so it's just shallow cuts to sides, more or less enough to screw in rad in place.



For screws themselves, I used M3 threaded (how Magicool rad is threaded) thumbscrews. Had to dremel top ones lower though, to not obstruct inserting of top drawer with disk in hotswap area. Another plus for thumbscrews apart from easier tool-less screwing in – their heads are wider, so no need for anything more in lower screw “side cuts”.
