Can Dark Base 700 White fit 420mm?

Hi, so I've been looking at the Dark Base 700 whites and it looks good, E-ATX, Flippable Mobo tray, good for my price, and has lots of fan supports. I have multiple questions about it, first of all, it says it can fit 3x140mm fans in front and top but other sources say it can't, will I be able to since they may have changed it for the white edition? If it can, can both of these fit 420mm radiators, because some say it can, others say it can't. Can it even fit a radiator in the top because I have tall ram (51mm Corsair Vengeance RGB). What about pump support? Are they any drawbacks to this case that could catch me that I don't know about?

It can fit 140mm fans, but cannot fit any 420mm rads (most likely because the end tanks cause interference with another part of the case. This is common for Mid towers)

Ok thanks for the info! I had heard other sutff elsewhere, but I'll believe be quiet! I don't even know if I'm gonna go with it though because of the horrific airflow on the top. The only thing I want from it now is really the inversible mobo tray, which is usually not for 200 dollar cases.

Well i have the Dark base 700 with 3x 140mm fans in front, but its not really the optimum way :D.

You have to squeeze them really hard together to get them in because with no force theyre a few millimeters to big.

Ok thanks for the info! I sadly cannot deal with buying cases anymore because my mobo just died and i have to think about my options ?
