Quick Question - Antec 900 & Ultra-120 regular or extreme

Looking to put a Ultra-120 extreme into my Antec 900 to cool off a Q6600. Can anyone confirm that this will fit in there? Also is the extreme version of this heatsink any bigger than the regular? Because I think I saw someone on here with the regular one fitting inside of their 900.

Here is the main reason I ask, from newegg's comments on the ultra-120 extreme:
"Other Thoughts: It is HEAVY! Also, very tall - Had to remove the side case fan from my Antec 900 - else, case won't close. "


Anyone able to fit that sucker in there without removing the side fan? If I have to remove the fan, is it worth it to put "the best" heatsink in there?

Thanks for any help ya'll. Anxiously awaiting my new rig.
 
I'm about to buy either the extreme or the regular here pretty soon. Also, can anyone recommend a fan to go on it, for someone who cares more about performance than noise?
 
If you want performance, the Silverstone 9-blades and Panasonic Panaflo's can push a lot of air.
Scythe S-Flex are another good choice.

If you use a fan on the side with a hollow post, you can remove the corner with a hack-saw or similar and the Ultra120 will fit.
