ok so i've now got myself a silverstone SG01 with a DFI lan party board and a E5200 that i'm wanting to overclock. Trouble is the SG01 is limited in the height that the cooler can be. I was thinking about mounting a shuttle/1u style psu over the pci slots to allow myself a proper sized cooler. But i may venture into gaming again at some point so want to be able to keep the 550 watt psu i've currently got, as 300 watts is about the limit to these smaller psu, without spending large sums. The other problem is the lan party boards heat sinks around the cpu clashing.

I've got a few in mind but i'm unsure if these will definitely fit my setup and which is actually the best. feel free to add suggestions.

Cogage MST-140
Thermalright AXP-140
Scythe Shuriken Rev.B Quiet Low Profile
Coolermaster GeminII
Silverstone NT06-E
Thermalright SI-128
 
Ive got the NT06-E in my SUGO 1. Works a charm, ive got a fan modded underneath blowing up and it keeps my Q6600@3Ghz under 70oC full load even in this heat. I would recommend it.
