Heatsink Help

[sam600sx]

Okay guys, I have purchased most of my new system: Asus M2NPV-VM, AMD X2 3800 AM2 (65W), CorsairXMS2 6400. My question is on the case and heatsink compatibility. The first choice in cases is the Lian Li V300, second TT VF1000BNS, third Qpack, forth coolermaster RC541. Zalman 9500 is ruled out on the first three choices. Will the TT Blue OrbII fit in the first three choices on this motherboard. Won't be overclocking this is strictly a HTPC

Well I have narrowed the parameters for my heatsink search. I have purchased the Lian Li V300 case. Any heatsink info for this case and a Asus M2NPV-VM motherboard would be appreciated.

I have purchased the Lian Li V300 case.

another great case is the Ultra Products MicroFly:

it's one of the roomiest micro-atx "cube" cases with good airflow. it ain't perfect but i haven't found another i like more.

I hate bothering with stuff almost fitting and then having to make it fit. Ran into this with my blue orb on an intel build.I like zalman 8000, but some people don't like it because of looks and noise on full. But it does slide right in.
