Is the ceiling on the inside of the PREDATOR ORION 3000 | PO3-620 Model mountable for case fans? I was planning on adding the Corsair AIO liquid Cooler for my CPU, but I'm unsure if the slots on the ceiling inside are meant for case fans or just ventilation.

    The grid on the top of the case doesn't really have holes for mounting a fan, it's primarily designed to just allow air to flow without acceleration. The front and back case fans should provide the correct air flow direction through the case.

    As the case is now, even if you manage to add a fan to the top of the case, the airflow will be mightily hindered by metal mesh and the plastic top cover.

    What you posted has nothing pertaining to the question I asked, I'm speaking about the "ceiling", not the front or rear sir.
