Well, I have been foiled. I got the case home this week and stripped it down to the chassis. The thing is a lot smaller than I originally thought, there is no way a 25cm fan will fit in the side panel without major modification to the case. Now I'm trying to decide if I like the thing enough to stretch the frame and fabricate brand new side and top panels or just downsize the fan to a 12 or 14cm fan. I'd hate to do that though, as the big fan was the central point of the case and a 12cm just wouldn't have the same effect. Damnit.
It would be really hard to do that without unbalancing the fan, besides the fact that the frame of the fan would have to be cut down somehow also.
