as ManBearPig said it's around 60mm on the top and 70mm on the front.  I have a sabertooth x99 motherboard on there and the top can probably be pushed to 65mm with some creative wire routing using that motherboard and the front you can probably push it to 90mm where it slams into the reservoir holder but you would be blocking some parts of the fan.  The top part looks like around 25mm fans only, maybe 30mm thick.  The top mount plate is actually around 2-3mm only with the way it is shaped not 4mm as I previously mentioned.

Thanks Artah.
 
I'm probably looking to have 1 radiator at the top to start with. So that 60mm at the top, does that include the fans?
 
So say 25mm fans and 35mm Rad max?
 
Sorry, completely new at this, never even seen a water cooling rad before.
 
It would probably be easier to go with an AIO as I'm only going to cool the CPU for now but I would like a reservoir and some colour to show off through the window of this amazing looking case.

So the top cannot take a 60mm Radiator + 25mm fans, or it can? I have 2 60mm radiators that I need to mount, front wont be an issue, but question is, will the top take a total of 85mm with fan and radiator thickness?

For a 60 mm fan you will not be able to have a push fans just the 3 mounted on the top for pull only they have stated there is 65 mm clearance to the top of the motherboard so your only option is to have the pull only or get a different rad 40 mm or less. 

For optical drives, I just bought an external case for my Bluray burner. I could probably keep it in the case if I wanted. LOL

If you dont plan on using this case as intended, you sure could!
Not sure if there's gonna be space for it if you got all the plumbings in there though.
Radiators eat up space right quick.

It is designed to hold my computer. I need my bluray drive to fill my plex library. Just thinking I could put the drive and enclosure in the case behind the panel when not being used. I only really need it every so often.

Behind? Like, behind the motherboard? I suppose you could sneak in an emergency slimdrive? :P

I'll find out Monday.

I still use a Blu-ray drive because it has much better quality.  I guess if you still have a standard definition TV or have bad eye sight you wouldn't mind the sub par picture of streaming.  But for those that have a nice setup and good eye sight, Blu-ray is the only way to go.

you guys mean to tell me you don't have a HTPC? if not you are missing out. those are the only PC's imho that *could* use a disc drive. and if someone wants to use this behemoth of a case as a HTPC, best of luck finding a TV big enough to match.
