Recommendations?

What will it be used to cool?

This si the best silent air cooler although the Tt sonic tower might be ok passively (bit cheaper) if you are not running a hugely powerful CPU

Sorry, an AMD64 3800+ single core

Possibly a Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 CPU Cooler?

I currently have an Artic Cooling Freezer 64 - but it may be too big for my new case and I want a quieter one.

Just use speedfan or a fan controller to lower the fan speed and the freezer 64 is much quieter, the solo is standard ATX I think so it should fit just fine.

if you have a 120mm exhaust fan, which the solo's have a slot/space for then just run something like a Scythe Ninja Plus / Thermaltake Sonic Tower etc fanless.
The 120mm should be ok, I've heard a few people say they had to remove the fan from the ninja plus because it touches the ram and takes up too much room
I guess just keep an eye on the temps, everyone is saying it's the best HSF around so should run ok passively

My only main concern realy is space inside the case. So does the Ninja tower come with a 120mm fan that attatches to it?

Have you enabled Qfan? I've got an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro and at full blast you can hear air noise, not too bad but not silent. Switch QFan on though and it's virtually silent.

Yeah it does, I replaced the ninja fan with a Yate Loon, totally silent, I also had problems with the RAM being to high for the fan so I just put it on the bottom instead, blowing the air towards the 120mm fan in the PSU temp went up by 1 degree compared to it being on the side blowing out the back of the case.
