ARG!!! i7 HSF for P182 + P6T - why is this so hard?

So... I thought this would be easier, but between blocking DIMMs on the P6T and the width of the P182, finding a nice HSF is becoming a significant problem.

The Scythe Mugen 2 was my choice until someone commented that it would be too tall for the case.

The Cogage TRUE Spirit looks great, but it looks to be almost as tall as the Scythe Mugen 2.

It's hard enough to cut through the hype with the various allegations of review sites getting "better" (read "smoother bases") samples than you are likely to get at retail. I can't even seem to find a good option for my config.

Any suggestions or should I look at getting a different case? I love the P182 and have an extra one on hand. But I can always re-purpose it for a future hackintosh build.

I had a TRUE in a P180. You can also fit a Corsair H50 in there.
