This chart lists where the Celsius S24 , S28 and S36 can be mounted in each of our cases, and lists what kind of restrictions there are if any.
If there is a blank space that means there is no compatibility for that cooler in that case.
Discontinued cases are in a separate article: https://fractaldesign.freshdesk.com/en/support/solutions/articles/4000161347-celsius-and-celsius-compatibility-chart-with-discontinued-fractal-design-cases
