As far as I can tell you, just from just looking at the pictures, you won't be able to put 60mm rad in the front of the case, especially if you using cards like 7970.There is just not enough room for that, I think that you will be ok with 30mm rad and 1 set of fans, but not 100% sure.

Very good job from Phanteks!!!
Rads possibility are impressive too, as well as overall design of the case
Hopefully Tom will do proper TTL case review

Pretty sure it's bigger than my HAF X, and i consider that fairly large haha. If you got space, I suppose you might as well use it!

Not a big fan of an entire windowed side panel. Too much window.

e a way off yet, this was a paper launch.

CorsairGeorge confirmed on overclock.net. Looks good for WC setup

Yeah, to clear this for once and for all:

Top: 240 or 280mm radiator, with about 80mm clearance - spacing for 15mm-20mm.

Front: 240, 280, or 360 radiator, spacing dependent on GPU length, with room for fans in front of steel chassis for extra clearance.

Why don't you contact Corsair support over the missing part?

I opened a ticket with them 6 weeks ago but thay keep telling me that thay dont have any replacement parts but to keep asking
Plus the side window has marks on it I also told corsair about this as well
I feel like going from my corsair 550d to the 540 air the quality is no ware near the same quality to me

That case from Phanteks looks great!!

The Corsair 540 looks great too but I would like to see a slightly larger version of it that could fit a 360 monsta rad in push pull in the front and still be able to fit long graphics cards.
