Can a Corsair H100i be mounted on an old thermaltake case (Va8000bws) and how?

I'm planning on getting a corsair h100i, so I've been watching youtube videos and everyone seems to put the radiator on the top side of the case but my case doesn't have room for any more stuff up there, I've seen other people sticking it on the front of the case but mine has a cage for the hard disks on there, the only place left is the bottom of the case but I don't see the 240 mm mount necessary to hold the radiator so I'm totally lost here, do I need a new case?

Just get a case for around 30-40$ or so, you could try to cut the one you have.
But the fastest and cheapest option is to get air cooler, AIO water coolers are not good anyway based on price/performance. h100i will run only 3-5C cooler at best compared to 212 evo or cryorig H7

I used to have that case!
I wouldn't even try to mount a radiator in that thing. The top would require *serious* modification and I'm not even sure that you'd be able to make it work even then ... because of all of the brackets for the stuff mounted up there.

I used to have a very similar case to you... I actually did mount a H110i on the front by using L brackets and mounting it to the hard drive cage. Now, this does not look good and is very frustrating as you have to get everything to line up correctly...

I second Maken's suggestion to just get a new case with the appropriate mounting. I'm a fan of Thermaltake and they have several inexpensive and decent cases in their line-up.
