If I buy the Caselabs' SMA8 with the 39mm extension for the top of the case (not the standard and not the 120mm), will I be able to fit a big 360mm large width radiator in Push/Pull without impeeding my mobo? Im using a 360mm because I was to fit an DVD player and have room for one more full Optical bay in the top front of the case. I will have a 280mm rad in the flex bay area in the front. Im needing to figure out if I should buy the SMA8 or the 10 version(big extended top section). I dont really want to spend the extra $80 for the 10 b/c 1) $$$, 2) too tall. Please advise if you already own this case guys!!

I don't know the clearance of the case itself to have a base number i which to add 39mm to. I'm trying to see if a current owner of a SMA8 could help me figure this out. The rad I am looking at is already 60mm..

1x Alphacool NexXxos UT60 360mm Monstaa White Rad(Top Case)
3x Noctua Static Pressure 120mm Fans in PUSH beneath the rad pushing through it.
3x Noctua Static Pressure 120mm Fans in PULL above rad but inside the case.

*This is a lot of height for the top of ANY case (I think), but I hope I am wrong. The UT60 Monsta is something like 86mm thick plus 2 of the Noctua Fans and I would like some sort of room between mobo and rad setup for attractive cable mgmt.
