I'm building a small form factor PC in a 1U rack case. When I bought it it contained legacy components on a microATX board. I'm slowly swapping these out, but unsure if the current heatsink/fan will be compatible with the new board... If not, then I'm worried I might have a bit of a search on my hands to find a suitable solution.
It's going to contain an ASRock microATX board with an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, and obviously, to fit into a 1U rack case it's going to have to be prettttyyyy small, height-wise, although the fan can probably be a lot larger, circumference-wise. Here's a pic of the system as it stands, so you can get an idea of how big i mean:
If anyone has any suggestions on where to look, or if I can just use the current heatsink/fan somehow (bearing in mind they're currently on a PIII 500MHz but will soon be on a Core 2 Duo...) then please let me know!
