Sorry guys but I ended up getting the Xiggy . The size is just a bit of a factor for me for the Scythe.

The Scythe & Xiggy are almost the same size, the only major difference is the depth.

Xiggy 120(W) x 50(D) x 159(H)
Mugen 2 130(W) x 100(D) x 158(H)

No doubt the Mugen 2 has better temps than the Dark Knight.

EDIT: You sound like you might be making a rig soon, if you are in the market for a new i7, check out Antares Digital, they have i7 d0s for $285.50 (Thats with shipping). Newegg will be a gamble; its $280 with free shipping, but I know that California is shipping the hotter c0s and the other centers are shipping d0s... I'd go with Antares to be safe.
Are the D0s a big improvement?
Cause i always ordered from Newegg, good company

d0s run cooler and with lower voltages, and from what I hear around here, its a big improvement. I ended up ordering most of my parts from newegg, but my case from provantage and my cpu from antares digital.

How much space is there between the top fan and your current cooler? Is there at least 28mm?
the distance between my current cooler (Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro) and the top fan is 43 mm, and the distance between the cooler and the back fan is 33 mm

also Thermalright IFX-14 apparently does fit in an antec mini p180, according to the picture on this french forum (although it seemed that the 120 mm back fan has been removed)



http://forum.hardware.fr/hfr/Hardwar...t_815108_4.htm

so is it safe now for me to assume that Scythe Mugen 2 does fit my case ?
