Cooling for a XP2100+ in a 2U rackmount case

Can anyone offer suggestions on this setup? Will I have enough room for, say, a SK6+ and a thin 80MM fan, do you think there will be enough room for airflow? I highly doubt it, myself, but have yet to hear of a low profile heatsink that will fit in a 2U case....

Would I maybe have better luck going with a 3U case? That should leave plenty of room?

Thanks in advance!

Ehh, there won't really too much room but go with the bigger case if you have the room, etc. There must be a cooler out there that will work.

In case anyone goes looking, I found the following, which I will be trying when I assemble this:

Low profile cooler

Found it originally on rackmountpro.com, but they have little feedback, and none in the last year, whereas Monarch is a top 10 company. However, rackmountpro is $12 cheaper, so choose as you see fit! Both Monarch and rackmountpro say this will work in a 2U, and it is rated up to XP 2700+.

Hope this helps someoen out there!
