I thought about this too. Trouble is 3 of my 5 - 5 1/4 bays are in use and I wasn't too keen on resting the rad on it's piping.

I might be able to still bolt it to the top of the case.

Cut a 120mm blowhole in the top of the case. Put a 120mm fan duct through the blowhole, cutting off extra length. Then use 32mm bolts from the top of the case through the first fan mounting hole placing a nut either side of what would be the uppermost fan mounting. This would suspend the fan about 27mm from the top of the case and hopefully against the fan duct. Then put cut down screws through the second set of fan mounts (what would be the lower set) into the rad to hold them together. This would give the tubing enough room to stop it kinking, although I will probably have to secure the pipes to the top of the case.

How does this sound. Can anybody see any problems with this before I hack holes in my expensive case?
