Default Would a duo 120mm radiator fit?

I was wondering if a duo 120mm radiator would fit a Armor+ LCS VH600LBWS?

http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Produc...5&ID=1480#Tab0

I decided I'd go for this case and use water-cooling. Theres a barebone for one of these with a water-cooling system built in already, but I'd rather make my own. So, would a duo 120mm radiator fit? I can't use it in the back, for the exhaust, since there's only room for a single 120mm. The front and top can only occupy a single 120mm too, the side a 140mm, but the bottom can hold two 120mm. The problem is, not sure if I can install the grill on the bottom... plus, I'm worried about the heat. So, would it work, or is there a better case? I'd like one with a window.

Also, I was wondering, how would I install a resevoir into one of those 5.25" bays? With screws?

Theres no space, even on the bottom?

Anyone know any good cases with two 120mm fans/vents in the back? I found one, but I don't like it nearly as much as the one I posted earlier...:

It's white, and doesn't have as much fans and features as the last one.

240mm radiator? O_o, lol. Actually, I checked out a few mod pics, and I found a pretty good idea. I think I'm make a rack and put the radiators outside, behind the case. I was thinking of a quad-120mm or duo, but I've never heard of a 240mm radiator. I was wondering, in which order does the water-system go? Is it resevoir, pump, rad, then blocks? Or resevoir, pump, blocks then rad? Also, could I have two rads- a quad in the exterior to cool the water before it reaches the blocks then a rad & resevoir 5.25" bay after the blocks to cool the water as well? The pump I want to use was said to be very powerfull, with 20ft head pressure, so I don't think that'll be a problem... It's the MCP355 Pump

a 240 rad is a 'duo 120mm rad'
