It will have to be 120mm I think, and may have to be low profile, I can't remember if the Apollo requires thin fans at the front or not.

Low profile means less than the standard 25mm thick. I'm pretty sure Scythe Slipstreams come in 120mmx15mm thick format in various speeds.

I just E-Mailed service@nzxt.com , on a front fan.
Well if it does accommodate a front fan I can't miss if I get the thin one, Right

Correct.
Good luck with service@nzxt.com though, they often only respond once you moan on the forum about why they haven't responded... You'll notice I've done a lot of that... haha

Aha, well it's a very "pretty"(no homo) case. Lots of lights. Not to the point of annoying, to the point of "oh look! Cool lights!"
Also it's VERY well built AND thought out.

abuzar1..U might B right, I like the way it breaks down. U can get to the MBRD easy, & HDDs. Man that thing has a lot of fans
Is it a good case for cooling though. I'm probably going to go with an intel dual or quad core 2.4 or 3 GHz. I like these 4 DVD Ripping, & AVI Conversions (encodeing-recodeing)

The NZXT Apollo is still actually a bettter case for cooling with a front fan fitted as it is fully complemented with 120mm fans rather than weaker 80mms.

It would also look a lot better without all that large white print everywhere!

Well I have owned that case(3 different times actually) and it looks very nice. That white paint is not so bad. Plus it has a front and back 120mm fan plus a side 80mm(which moves a lot of air and is not loud) vs one side and rear 120mm fans on the appollo.

Hmm, I suppose it's OK then. Still it looks like a lot of space is covered up and the airflow will be minimal.
IDK, maybe I'm biased. It's a great case either way.

Don't forget the Apollo is very similar to the Lexa, the front intake ducts work quite well.

And it's Green! UGH!!! Blue, Red, or Purple would be great, but Green? Even the lock mechanisms are the same ugly Green! (Sorry GM!)

Green is nice in moderation, but I had two Green CCFLs once. Nice novelty, horrible to live with. Red on the other hand, is superb on a day to day basis. Blue is just too common these days, hence the lack of blue case fans in my PC.

It's just something you have to see in person. Only two people on these forums have had used these cases and we both love them. They are intuitive, look very nice, and they feel like they were built by people who would use them themselves. Attention to detail.
