Anyone have a Thermaltake LanBox?
I (perhaps stupidly) purchased a Thermaltake LanBox case from Newegg, and now I'm wondering if it was a bad idea. The PSU sits directly over the motherboard giving very little vertical clearance space to stick a heatsink in. In reading reviews, most users have used a BlueOrb II or a Zalman CNPS8700, but I'm unsure as to how they'd handle my Phenom X3's 95W TDP.
Does anyone here either:
a) Have a lanbox and can measure the actual clearance available for a heatsink,or
b) Know if the aforementioned HSFs would handle my X3 well.
I'd rather not have to deal with a watercooled rig at the LAN since the size of the case means it'd almost require an external radiator. Then again, the ProWater 850i might fit... not that I need another project.:(
Any help or insight would be appreciated. The case arrives Wed. but I'd like to get a head start on this FAILBOAT ride.
