So I'm assuming you didn't make the mistake of ordering the 212-EVO?

I was really surprised, looking at the Corsair Spec-01. It's supposed to be an "ATX" case, and I would never have imagined that a 212-EVO wouldn't fit, but it DOES look "iffy." I can't even be sure that orienting a 212-EVO at right angles to the usual configuration would work.

120mm rear fan... it should fit the evo fine...

See -- I have to think that the 212 EVO might fit, as you suggest. He says it doesn't or won't, but I cannot imagine how an ATX case -- cramped as it seems -- wouldn't allow for an "EVO" installation. He might have to split hairs over fan-deployment, but that's a fairly minor problem.
