The only way i could see to do it was to remove a whole section of the front panel, plus then you have to move the radiator out at the bottom about 2 inches, then it fits in snugly with a standard fan still on the rad. (yes i have already done mine )

Theres no way you will get it behind the front panel, the rad won't move back far enough to allow it

Graham designed and built a cooler for the S1 as the S2 one doesn't fit. So, why bother trying to fit an S2 cooler to an S1?

Maybe he already has an S2 one kicking about, and doesnt want to fork out for a new S1 item.
Understandable
