Spec me a cooler

I'm thinking about getting rid of my A64 Pro as it doesn't really cut the mustard when I start putting a lot of voltage through my Opty so I need some suggestions on what to replace it with. The problem is that the width of my case is only 20cm across and I have a 120mm case fan that's right in line with the CPU socket so whatever I choose can't be massively tall. Help!
 
Ok, I'm thinking about getting the Scythe Ninja, as it's on special offer. It reckons that you can fit it without having to take out your mobo but I've read a couple of reviews that say this is only true for socket 478 mobos. Can someone with a s939 system confirm?
 
Too late, I've already ordered a Ninja :p I hadn't considered the Vanessa tbh, the TT120 would unfortunately be too tall for my case but I think the Ninja should fit hopefully. Original question still stands though with regards to fitting it!

EDIT: Scrap that, order cancelled, as it's not compatible with my mobo apparently :( The problem looks to be the NB heatsink, not the height of the cooler so I need one that won't interfere with it - http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/anavel0/DSC02146Paint.jpg

Anyone? :( Alternatively, I might just 'ghetto' mod my A64 Freezer by using a 120mm fan instead of the 92mm one supplied so can someone recommend me one that shifts a decent amount of air but that isn't too noisey.
 
Thermaltake Big Typhoon ? Should be lower in height ( its 135mm ) than the Tuniq / Ninja, but does need the motherboard removed to fit as it bolts through due to its weight.
