2U Heatsink Recommendation?

I'm thinking about building a htpc system in a 2U case and need a recommendation on a good cpu heatsink. I'll probably use a low power 65w or even 45w cpu, but better the cooler, the quieter it can be set.

I will probably get this case, since it's cheap and meets all my requirements.

I've been looking at this heatsink from thermalright but don't know if it would fit.

I think the internal height of the case is about 90mm. I can cut a hole and put a filter right above the fan so it can go right to the top. The slimmest fan I've seen is 12mm and the heatsink is 63mm. 75mm total with 15mm left for the cpu+mobo+spacers.

I'll probably get the case/psu first and just put in an old mobo/cpu to test fit and measure dimensions at first and get parts after I finish prettying the case up.
