    It will have to be 120mm I think, and may have to be low profile, I can't remember if the Apollo requires thin fans at the front or not.

    Low profile means less than the standard 25mm thick. I'm pretty sure Scythe Slipstreams come in 120mmx15mm thick format in various speeds.

    I just E-Mailed service@nzxt.com , on a front fan.
    Well if it does accommodate a front fan I can't miss if I get the thin one, Right

    Correct.
    Good luck with service@nzxt.com though, they often only respond once you moan on the forum about why they haven't responded... You'll notice I've done a lot of that... haha

    Aha, well it's a very "pretty"(no homo) case. Lots of lights. Not to the point of annoying, to the point of "oh look! Cool lights!"

    Also it's VERY well built AND thought out.

    abuzar1..U might B right, I like the way it breaks down. U can get to the MBRD easy, & HDDs. Man that thing has a lot of fans
    Is it a good case for cooling though. I'm probably going to go with an intel dual or quad core 2.4 or 3 GHz. I like these 4 DVD Ripping, & AVI Conversions (encodeing-recodeing)

    The NZXT Apollo is still actually a bettter case for cooling with a front fan fitted as it is fully complemented with 120mm fans rather than weaker 80mms.

    Well I have owned that case(3 different times actually) and it looks very nice. That white paint is not so bad. Plus it has a front and back 120mm fan plus a side 80mm(which moves a lot of air and is not loud) vs one side and rear 120mm fans on the appollo.

    and the Apollo supports a 120mm front as well as a 120mm side, you just have to buy one. :)

    Hmm, I suppose it's OK then. Still it looks like a lot of space is covered up and the airflow will be minimal.

    IDK, maybe I'm biased. It's a great case either way.

    nice find there Sammy. :p

    I've dealt with jab-tech before and they are a good company from my experience. :)

    good luck with your decision there Rick. ;)
