    Some sort of glue or welding I suppose?

    they might of used a bit, but I think those its more a case of mechanical lock as you can see the screws that attach the fans to the mesh, so I'm assuming then the screws for the fans keep the rad on. Can't tell how the mesh is in there from the pics but I could have it wrong

    Hi.

    I once read a tutorial for mounting a stealth blowhole.

    It invovled gluing or using metalweld to stick the bolt heads to the the case on the inside. You could use a similar idea for yours.

    Regards

    Another option is to use the special doubls-sided sticky tape they use to stick undermounted sinks to kitchen work tops. It is black (rather than the familiar white) tape, and it sticks. You could glue a tank to the ceiling with it. I would propose you use that to stick the mesh to the case, and fold the edges of the mesh down and use sideways mounting screws to keep the fans in place. The radiator would be attached to the fans using screws as usual.

    They didn't say that screws were not used at all. They just said that they were not used to mount it TO the top panel of the case.

    They probably just made a pair of angle brackets to hold the radiator from underneath so that the bolts are holding the radiator to the frame instead of the top panel of the case. I highly doubt that they used permanent measures to mount their radiator. That wouldn't be too bright, especially considering that case is reeeeeeally expensive.

    Then use undercut screws to hold a perfectly indented mesh cover in place on the radiator.
