They don't play well together
, the cooler is about 1/4" to tall and I don't really want to cut a hole in my new case, so back the cooler will go
soon as I can get a drive issue fixed and I can get the box up and running I'll post some images.

Yeah I know, I may "barrow" a bit of the sever space from work, I can't get to photobucket, websense stops me.
Here ya go, this is looking from the bottom across the side to show how far it sticks out.

I've run into that same problem with several different cases with tall coolers, and it get worse with some cases that have the large 250mm side fans.

I'm thinking XP-120, or one of the low profile zalmans. Has to be low profile what ever it is.
Guess it all depends how big a fit Newegg will give me on swaping it, as to how fast I can get a different one. For now I'm still using the stock fan/sink and with the open mesh front the thing sounds like a fricken jet on takeoff.
I really was leaning towards the passive route so I could tone down the fan noise, but this was the shortest one I could find.
