Sorry, there was a delay getting RAM from Amazon. So will post more pics after I add RAM and get the system running.

Update: finally got the system running on ubuntu, still waiting for intel ssd to install Windows :(

Congrats man! White looks awsome..

Me to bought the BLACK PHANTOM and ordered 2 more 200mm fans, but not able to find any 140mm anywhere for the Front panel. :S

Anyways did the H80 fit there easily? I am planning to install 2 x 200mm top fans now only fear is the H70 will fit there or not.

Let me know your views man!

if u r buying 200mm fans u need to by thin fans (20mm), the regular fans are 30mm thick. will create problems with h70/80 & side fan.

look at this, Newegg.com - XIGMATEK Cooling System XLF XLF-F2006 200mm LED Blue Case Fan PSU Molex Adapter/extender included

I moved the pull fan outside the case and now the push fan is hitting the side fan(which is silverstone 180mm fan)

I did not try to remove the push fan but it looked like if ?I remove that side panel will fit properly.

And there is no need to put 140mm front fan, the side 120mm are directly on the HDD tray, which is sufficient to cool them :)

Got the intel ssd and installed windows.

First time got to see the SSD in action, its smooth sailing in windows 7
