Great case I thought I agree with Alan on all points. Definitely a go if your planning on using an mATX board in your setup. The layout and flow of the case appears to be quite superb.

I was just looking at this case the other night. Unfortunately you can't use a 120mm fan in the back so it negates the H50 or H70 I wanted to use. Nice case though.

Couldn't you still remove the top 140mm fan and attach your 120mm fan there? It looks to also handle a 120mm fan on top as well as the 140mm it comes with.I was just looking at this case the other night.

I just took a look at the board and would say no. I use tall memory sticks, 2+1/8 inches to be exact. Although they would "probably" not be in the way I also took in where the processor would be inre to the 1 or 2 fans and the radiator. And then you have the actual heat sink/impeller-pump. Would be a tight fit indeed if I thought it would actually work but from all the pictures I've seen from other sites I don't think it will. And personally I wouldn't want to put it up top anyways. Thanks for the input though.
And tonight I looked over at the egg for a replacement. Ironically the only other small case I could find that gave the right amount of room for a large video card and mounting the radiator was the CM341 also inn the review. Not as nice and not as "airy" but It will suffice.

Something I never thought of doing is to find an adapter to go from 90mm - 120mm. Found a couple of sites earlier today so things are looking up. Get a deal with free shipping and it's do-able.
