It seems to be a common question but with limited answers.

What CPU coolers fit in the zero case? The four fans on the side panel take away some of the width.

I know the Tuniq Tower 120 doesn't fit without removal of the four panel fans.

Pretty sure the Artic Freezer 7 will.

Not sure about the Zalman VF900-Cu?

Sorry, my retarded mistake. I meant the Zalman CNPS9700-LED Aero Flower.

And yes it does fit as I just purchased one. Lovely combination and the only complaint I have now is that my feet are starting to get frost bite from being near the case for too long. :D

LordShadow, if ya mate is still looking at this case, here's some pros and cons:

Pros:

Comes complete with 7 12cm fans which are super quiet.

Plenty of drive bays with easy screwless design.

Nice and cool with all fans on.

Reusable backplate covers for when you remove a graphics card etc (no hole left afterwards)

Cons:

Top 8cm fan is slightly noisy and gets in the way of some longer Power Supplies, best just to remove it.

The quad 12cm fans on the side panel reduce the case interior width, so some CPU coolers won't fit unless you remove them.

Wires have to be tied inside the case so that they don't hit the side fans when you close the panel.

======================================

If you're aware of the cons, this case is really nice. Just be aware that the quad fans on the side panel do get in the way a tad, but on the other hand they are super quiet and blow loads of cool air into the case.
