Will the Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 CPU Cooler fit in my Antec 300? (with or without a side fan)

If anybody knows, please share... would love to know if these will work together.
 
The reviews at Newegg show that it fits in the RC-690 and Antec 900, but only if you don't have a side fan installed. The Antec 300 is smaller than those two, so I'm guessing it won't fit at all.

If your budget allows such an expensive cooler (and the i7/DDR3/X58, obviously), why not upgrade the case too. Something like NZXT Tempest for example will help your overclocking a lot and will fit anything.

From the newegg reviews I saw: "Pretty big, but fits in my Antec P182."

Looking up that case, it is the same width 8.1'' that the antec 300 is... does that mean it will fit?
