Wondering what cooler options there are apart from the SST NT06 Evolution?

Looking for a case and think this may fit the bill. Would this case be suitable for the following? HTPC gaming machine.

Asus Maximus II Gene Micro ATX
Intel E8500
Corsiar Dominator
Powercolor HD5750 passive cooled
Corsair 450w modular PSU
Samsung SH-B083 Bluray drive
Windows 7

Thinking of one or two HDD's? And wondering if there are any dvd drive length getting close to PSU issues?

Ive had a couple of these and for the money there quite nice, your very limited on cpu coolers tho. I used the silverstone NT06-E which wasnt that badthe height of the NT06 is 82mm from silverstones website so that will be your max height whatever you choose, another option is the Thermaltake Gemini II cooler (i think thats what you call it) which has a lot bigger surface aera than the NT06 and im sure that fits too. Some of the low profile Zalmans might do the job?

Some others that should fit

As far as the dvd drives, the psu you have mentioned will be fine, any standard atx psu will fit its just huge 850W+ jobbys that may become an issue afaik

Your only other issue maybe is your ram, as the Dominator has huge ramsinks that might get in the way of the cooler?
