It looks like he did. Based on my measurements, without the fan bracket in place, there is almost exactly 137mm to the side panel, which, incidentally, is also the the height of the PH-TC14CS (112mm) with a 25mm thick fan. So I'll amend my statement: it won't fit with the stock fans; with thinner fans, it may fit.
Ah, so if I used the fan bracket to install two 25mm thick fans, the TC14CS (without top fan) would not fit?
