Whats the thickest fan that would fit up top where you noted a 25mm fan would not fit?

I think there is a company that makes an 18MM fan. Would that fit?

18 mm should fit up top, and that would be the max.

There's plenty of room inside the case for fans, or even a top rad plus fans. The 25 mm fans not fitting up top is just a missed opportunity, not really a downside.

Thanks for the review. In that last picture with the full length video card, would you be able to have the lower hard drive bracket installed?

There are mounting holes for 2x120mm, 140mm, 180mm, 200mm, and 230mm fan sizes.

Yeah, the lower hard drive cage and the upper 5.25" cage fit easily. According to BitFenix, all the cages can fit if you turn the 3.5" cages 180° and use a plastic/cardboard shim between the GPU and cages.
