Fractal Design Define R5 Small HDD Cage Placement

[Rawfulcakes]

So I recently ordered the R5 as well as the Corsair H110. I'm thinking about mounting the radiator in front and was hoping to be able to put the included front fan on the bottom of the case. The ODD bay is removable and I know you can mount the larger HDD cage in it's place.

My question is, could you also mount the smaller HDD cage in the ODD drive bay position? Because I would need the clearance for my 280mm radiator in the front.

If the smaller HDD cage can't fit up top, then I'll just have to mount it by the PSU and I'll probably take the extra fan and slap it on my radiator in a push/pull on the upper position.

Hello Rawfulcakes,

I guess the case is a Define R5, as I dont know any other R5 cases. Im interested in how you managed. I think about the same combo with Define R5 + front-mounted H110(i) and the small HDD cage at top. Did it work out for you?
