1. I plan on fitting a Corsair H100 push/pull like THIS. Is it going to be difficult for a newbie like me?
I will use the Asus P8Z77 Deluxe as well.
2. I read the 500R fan controller only works with the original fans, does that also happen on the 650D? Will I be able to plug the H100 with the fan controller included on the case?
3. Any particular thing you really don't like about your cases?
Thanks in advance.

First off. This case's internals are almost exactly the same as the 600T's, though my understanding is that it is a little more watercooling friendly.
1. If you can't fit the push/pull in the stock screw holes to avoid hitting the motherboard heatsinks, some people have been getting washers and screwing it into the mesh instead to avoid the heatsink.
2. The stock controller has controlled any fans I throw on it just fine. But I got a Lamptron FC5-V2 to replace it...it is however being RMA'd as we speak so I am back to the stock case controller for now
3. Cable management can sometimes be a pain if you have too many things going on in there. Front intake fan can be noisy unless you cut out the front mesh. I also wish the front took dual 120mm or 140mm or something instead of the single 200mm fan.
