Does this case have space?

Does anyone happen to know if this case http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-185-CM&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=29 has room for this cooler http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-005-PL&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395 , taking into account the height of this cooler and the fact this case has a large side fan on the side case window, i was thinking that the fact the case window is bent outwards might add the required space.

It should fit but you might have to remove the case panel fan to allow room.

It will fit. The case is 25cm wide, and the cooler is 158mm tall.

Giving 1cm for cable management, 1 cm for the standoffs etc, 2.5cm for the fan, you've still got ~5cm room, it's quite a large case.

Thanks Marvin for that breakdown, it's at least put me at ease to go ahead and make the purchase

I've had a Noctua NH-U12P inside one of these and its the same height the cooler. So it does fit
