I was wondering if there's anyone out there that's got this particular combo. I've got the case already (it's actually the one with the side fan) so it's a lot easier to change my choice of cooler than it is my case. I'm concerned about the side fan cutting off space that the (rather tall) 9700 needs to, well, exist and still shut the door. I've tried taking the internal measurements, and I THINK it'll fit, but as I don't have any of the other components yet, I can't prove it, so I thought I'd check around here and see.

Oh, and yeah, I know, the Zalman isn't the best cooler out there, but I don't plan to overclock THAT much, and plus, I have a short attention span so I'm sort of distracted by the shiny-ness of it :lol:

I had this set up and there was no issue regarding space - it will fit fine. I did, however, switch back to the regular side window as the fan blocked too much of the internal view for my liking.
