Are you sure? Specs say max 180mm. I can't find anything that would confirm your claim (no manual, no spec pics). Only thing that could suggest something is that Thermaltake Core V1 can fit 200mm cooler and is just 10mm wider.

The Megaflow has '180mm' mounting holes which are 165mm apart and it might as well be called a 180mm fan. There isn't much consistency in the ~200mm fan category.

Mounting holes wise then. But that doesn't actually mean it would fit. I've had this in case where Bitfenix Spectre would fit, but Spectre Pro with bigger frame didn't.

The Megaflow is effectively a 180mm fan and isn't larger than other 180mm fans. The case has a 180mm fan mount at the front.

Sorry, but this time I'm not gonna let you go so easy. This will be maybe at best. The fan is clearly wider than just distance between holes. Without having actual case to check, worst scenario is that it will just barely touch something which might 1) break something 2) make noise 3) both.

 

With very crude picture reference, it might fit. But it also looks like round frame will be blocking one of plastic clips of front mesh. I would recommend that @sean25 gets that fan from store which allows opened boxes to be returned. Test fits fan and if everything is fine, good.

Screen shot taken from: https://youtu.be/OFxNcJ2noiM?t=325

Bottom ruler is scaled to the 250mm wide case.

Top ruler is scaled to 105mm distance at 120mm fan mounting holes. Comparing the two, there's ~6% distortion from the photo between the wideness of the case and spacing of the holes.

Even using the larger ruler to size the 200mm wide Megaflow, it seems a bit smaller than the orange highlighted mounting holes. This is likely to be from distortion from the camera and my correction for perspective but it looks to be ~6% anyway. the Megaflow photo is probably a bit distorted from camera as well but there aren't any great photos I could find. All I did was rotate it a bit.

It doesn't seem crowded behind the front panel from this video:

Image result for antec cube all panels off

Going of this, anything with 180mm fan mounting holes would fit (just)
the LED's however might stop some 200mm fans that a fully round, although it looks likes antecs own Big Boy fan would fit perfectly.
Also note that a 200mm fan means only main chamber airflow.
If you have already tested this, please update with results cause I'm curious in an all Air cooled build with the new x570 Impact board coming out.
Its been a constant back and forth between the Antec Cube Razer and modding a Phanteks Evolv ITX for more airflow,
But I like my 200mm fans (got 3 in a NZXT 530 atm) the're loads of airflow and little noise, so if yours worked that's great.
