Hi guys.

Will I have clearance issues with this configuration? I'm planning to buy this cooler. I definitely want to buy a windowed side panel (this one: http://www.fractal-design.com/?view=product&category=5∏=96 ). I've read somewhere that R3 supports coolers only 160mm high. Macho is 162mm high and that acrylic window is taking a bit of space, too.

Please ignore my english, it's not my first language.

It's nice to look at specs and try to guess if it will or will not fit. But because this is a world-wide forum I'm hoping someone has a configuration like this.

Are there some good aircoolers that are about 155mm high?

Phanteks PH-TC14PE, NZXT Havok, Noctua D-14 will all fit in an R3 if you want a 140mm cooler. Phanteks PH-TC12DX for a 120mm.

There are actually 165mm of space for a CPU cooler in that case. Also, I got in touch with Fractal and they said that you will have 165mm of space with a normal or with a windowed sidepanel.
