Anyone have a socket 1156 mobo & cpu sitting around that they can measure for me?

I'm wondering how far the top surface of the CPU is over the top of the motherboard when installed, or in other words, how big the gap is between the top of the motherboard and the bottom of the heatsink. I'm designing a case and I want to make sure I'm not way off.

I would imagine it would be somewhere in here:

Thanks, it was actually incredibly easy to find!
