Back to fans.
Instead of drilling another hole into the case, I noticed that there is enough space for the cables to pass along the side. Here is a closeup of the fans standing up, with the cable from the left zip-tied to the casing of the one in the center.
Shit. (No. 3)
Though they put the screw holes in the top for three 140mm fans, they are JUST short of room for three. It might be that I had to improvise a bit with the radiator taking up some of the bottom screw holes, and not the case itself.
Luckily, FrozenCPU.com is a superb online retailer hosting all the fans and watercooling parts that I purchased. I called them and they said as long as the products and packaging are presentable and shelfable, they'll return them and give me store credit to purchase three 120mm fans.
I'll just take a fan off the bottom radiator and from the front to put in the top fan housing until they come some time next week. This isn't a hindrance, I'm considering the fans done. Time to ship them off, then off to mounting the reservoir and trying my hand at the first bit of tubing.
