Adding radiator to Aurora ALX

Hi guys,

I am looking to upgrade my Alienware Aurora ALX's cooling to a more beefier water-cooling system. I could use a radiator the same size as the current one, but I was looking at the top of my case, and I notice there's a whole bunch of screws that don't appear to be holding anything in place. Then it hit me: this would be the perfect place for a radiator! Not only would I be able to fit a bigger one, but since it's right next to the vents, this would be great for cooling. But i thought I'd confirm it first: can a radiator be attached to the top of the Alienware Aurora ALX's case?

Before you do that, is your PC out of warrenty?  If so, You can put the radiator anywhere, but is the current system not working for you?  System running to hot and shutting down all the time?

Yeah, it's out of warranty. The system works, but I'm looking to overclock. Checking the system manual, those screws in the top are apparently to hold to the venting system to the case :P
