Hey Guys Important Question here.
I'm looking for a new case to replace my old Antec 900. I do not like the crammed space it has and looking for a full tower now. I gave across the Thermaltake ArmorPlus(Armor+) VH6000BWS and found it quite good. I'm sure it can do as efficient cooling as the Antec 900. Also, I love the idea of the mesh will will block some of the dust. My antec 900 was getting very dusty inside.

Anyways back to the Point.
The Real Question !
Right now I'm using the Antec 900 and using a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme as my CPU cooler and it just fits with no space to spare in the Antec 900, but that's with no side fan. Considering the dimensions of the Thermaltake ArmorPlus(Armor+) VH6000BWS compared to the Antec 900 ones. Would ya think the TRUE120 will fix inside the Thermaltake ArmorPlus(Armor+) VH6000BWS with the side fan installed. On the Antec 900 I am unable to use a side fan.
In the Thermaltake ArmorPlus(Armor+) VH6000BWS the side fan is pretty important and will definitly need it.

Dimensions of the Antec 900 (L X W X H) --> 19.4'' x 8.1'' x 18.4'' (No Side fan installed and it fits just barely)

Dimensions of the Thermaltake Armorplus VH60000BWS --> (L X W X H) --> 23.6" x 9.6" x 24.6" ( I want the side fan included)

Dimensions of the TRUE120 Cooler --> (L X W X H) --> 2.49" x 5.19" x 6.31"
I am unsure of the width of the fan installed but I'm sure some of you know

With all that said.
the Final question!
Will the TRUE120 Cooler fit inside the Thermaltake Armorplus with the side fan installed
Thank you for your support

My gut feeling is yes, the TRUE should fit with the side panel fan because of the location of the fan (it is lower with relation to the CPU socket than the 900's fan), but here are a couple other cases to consider in the full tower department:

Lian Li A70
Lian Li A77
Antec Twelve Hundred

All will probably have equal if not superior cooling compared to the Armor+, and Lian Li and Antec's reputations for design and construction quality are excellent.
