Just got done converting my old gaming rig into a new htpc for the family living room in in win's new Chopin case. I gotta say the build quality is top notch and the cooling is excellent. Cable routing was a snap and my only real hitch was finagling the sata power cable as well as the sata 6gbs cable through the openings in the case because of the power delivery riser card on my old z77i-deluxe board. Everything turned out great and I'm absolutely in love with this case now.

No the psu has been very quiet and the cooling is excellent. I used the nh-l9i and temps are great, it is however not overclocked. Very happy with the case.

I'm not 100$ sure of the total clearance. But the side panel mesh does bulge up slightly where the cooler fits.
