I have ordered an EK Predator 240. Not to mount it on the side, but in the bottom. Should have taken a ruler out before. The Predator itself is not a problem. It fits on the bottom, not comfortable and I would have to decide the either use front audio or the fan hub on the Predator, but it is in there, laying strait on the bottom. But mounting the motherboard seems impossible to me at the moment. The Predator is 68mm heigh and interferes with the bottom part of the motherboard. PCB plus PCI-E port is 12mm when removing the GPU catch mechanism. When also removing the side panel holding clips, there is just 12mm clearance. So, with luck and sweat I could maybe fiddle it in, but I want to access the PCI-E port to plug a riser cable in. There would literally be no room for that. The only possibility I see is cutting a hole in the shroud of the Predator. There is 9mm between the fins and upper edge of the shroud. High probability of risking to damage the fins. Don't have a good feeling about that.
I don't see any other possibility at the moment. Do you?
