I'm getting the Ultra Microfly BX6. Adding in a Q6600 + Gigaby G33M-DS2R. Does anybody know what cooler will fit in the case?

My research says the mini ninja might fit. I tried to make diagrams of where the actual CPU will be located but I can't find detailed enough specs on the motherboard to try to make an educated guess for the case.
 
woot thats the same case/mobo i have. i went with the stock intel hsf on an e6750. there is also the 120mm right above it so u dont need a crazy hsf unless its an extreme overclock. if you are going aftermarket tall heatsinks require cutting the assembly and large 120mm non-vertical will get real close to the side panel. also be careful on the video card; nothing non-standard height.
 
to clarify: by non-standard height i mean that the cooler of the gfx card does not stand over the pcb height of the video card or else it will bump into the chassis and psu. i had to buy a new passive cooled video card b/c of this.
 
one other thing to mention.. sorry to say but the microfly family of products has pretty poor QC as I have seen multiple of these cases with various issues. so don't be surprised if you get scratched and/or malformed parts. the majority of the price tag probably is the PSU price on these since its a very good one. Good luck with the build.
