Rep #1 (phone) said that he didn't know for sure and it would be best to call Cooler Master and ask
Rep #2 (phone) said the case includes 3 200mm fans
Rep #3 (live chat) told me only a 120mm fan is included.
Rep #4 (email) told me that the case includes 2 200mm fans and a 120mm exhaust.

Lol, I actually had a laugh about that. I'll just take your word that it's the original, lol.

To be perfectly honest I got mine when they first appeared and I believe they were $179.00 free ship from the egg but had a $50.00 rebate so = $129.00 but the best part of this it didn't come with a black interior so alot of use had to paint it r selves but CM got wind of this and changed the interior to all black because that what people wanted and it looked a million times better....just my opinion!

I actually went to one of the stores to confirm for myself. The sales reps there were completely clueless (big surprise there...).

This version comes with one extra fan included, so that uses up one of the "spare" sets of fan/LED wires. Now there is only one left as a spare.

It looks nice.

Just an FYI, here are prime load temps after an hour.

The case provides excellent airflow (even shaves 2C off my HAF932 temps with an identical setup.)
