What ? You can have both, a 200mm fan on the side + Cooler Master V10/V8...

If you mount a 200mm fan in the door, it will bang into high tower coolers (like the TRUE). Thats the biggest flaw in the CM Cosmos S (which I had and loved but sold for that reason).

Although if the case is actually 10" wide it may work. My antec 1200 is only 8" wide and comes close to the door fan. The extra 2" of width may help (unless that is reflecting the case width with feet extruded)

Think I would be ok with a side fan on an Antec 1200 with my Vendetta 2?

Yes. You will have to configure it horizontally as opposed to vertically, but it fits.

What do you mean? I have it so the fan pushes air towards the rear of the case.

Like this:

Otherwise, it will bang into a fan mounted in the door of the 1200.

Isn't that configuration just going to suck in the hot air from the back of the video card and push it through the heatsink fins?
