A Q'n though, might be where the front fan would go. Normally I'd assume it attaches to the inside-front of the case, but I'd want to make sure (after reading a Sonata thread in cases & cooling) that shows it goes on the other side of the HDD rack, not directly sucking air into the case.

FreshPrince's pic suggests its where you'd want it, but if I was buying I'd hunt down a review and check.

Kudos Antec btw, they seem to be encouraging use of 120mm case fans. IMHO cases these days should definately be allowing use of 120 or at least 92mm case fans - much more air at much less noise (and I believe at a reduced pitch, so less annoying noise).
 
the p160 model is the one w/o the window and yes, that one is already confirmed that there's no window. However, the one I'm asking about comes with a clear window, and if you look at Newegg's pic, even thought I hate newegg 😉....you will see that the fan place has a 4-pin molex sticking out of it. That leads me to believe there's some sort of fan there, possibly a second 120mm fan 🙂

I could be wrong though.
 
I believe that molex connector is the one used for the 3 LEDS in the front slits of the case. They just tucked it in there for show.

EDIT: I stand corrected. If you read the newest review, the reviewer states that this case does indeed come with two(2) clear Antec 120mm case fans. ANd WTF?! I bought the one w/o a window not two weeks ago for $112 and now it's $100 and the window one is $110. And the NF7-S I bought not 2 days ago for $100 is now $92. I give up. 🙁

The P160 that I had only came with one fan. There's a bracket to mount the front fan onto but the fan itself is not included with the case.

That connector you see is for the blue LEDs that are on the front bezel.

The front fan of the P160 goes in front of the HDD cage. It bolts to a slide out tray.

The Sonata's fans does mount behind the HDD cage.

There's a couple of pics on this page that show the location of the front fan and it's pull-out tray.

we will see when I get mine either today or tomorrow 😛

I'm pretty sure the one with window comes with 2 fans....

 
I first hat the P160 and it came with one black fan. I sent it back and got the P160W and it came with 2 clear fans one with blue LED's the other plain.

 
I LOVE THIS CASE!!!!! I recieved it a week ago. Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner, or I would have informed you that it does, indeed, come with two fans. The rear one is an LED fan and the front is a clear Antec. The front 3pin connector is indeed for the three LEDs for the slots. I love the built in thermal readouts! This case is pimp. The one and only complaint is the 5.25" drive bays are very tight fitting. I like everything else about this case.
