I know the max cooler clearance is 162mm, but the Silver Arrow SB-B (not the extreme) has a max clearance of 175 clearance but I don't think it'll be an issue if I can "lower" the bigger fan in the middle. I saw one review online had the Phanteks PH-TC14PE in it, although the fans were facing vertically, not horizontally.
Plus I saw if you have side fans the max clearance is 147mm (about there) but I don't see how that is possible in this vortez review: http://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/cm_storm_scout_2_review,1.html because it looks like you can fit 2x 120mm fans still.
Really, really liking it and if I could fit a SB-E edition of the silver arrow and two fans on the side I would be SOLD!

From looking at reviews the 162mm is about spot on, you might get away with a 165mm but I can't promise anything. As for the side fans and a CPU cooler, I don't get it. The side fans don't even come close to the CPU cooler, your cooler will hit your GPU first. If you give me a week or so, I'll have a pic with of the max CPU height.
