Does this TT case allow big CPU coolers?

For once I accually like what I see from TT which is pretty rare. But this case looks pretty decent for good airflow http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/...ct.aspx?C=1390&ID=1835 and the price is very nice as well. AND it does look alot better than the HAF 932 which looks like a crane imo.

But Do you think I can fit my Scythe Mugen II in with that 230mm fan on the side?

i was going to say yes because it has a 230mm fan on top, meaning its at least 230mm wide. but then the dimensions of the case say it is 191mm wide. how can a 191mm-wide case have a 230mm-wide fan on top? i must be missing something. anyway, the distance from the back of the case to the top of your cpu is usually not more than 2cm. given that most "big" cpu coolers are about 16cm tall at most, that gives 18cm. with a 19cm case you should make it. just make sure to measure everything first, it all depends. for example, some mobo trays are spaced out from the back more so you can run wires behind the mobo.
