Please suggest an HTPC case that can fit in Zalman CNPS7700

As I have upgraded myself to i7 Setup, my old AMD setup needs a new home. I am thinking of making it into an HTPC. It had Sandy running on DFI Lanparty Mobo powered by PCP&C 510W PSU. The CPU Cooler is Zalman CNPS7700. Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835118115

I am wondering if all HTPC Cases fitting in an ATX Mobo will have enough headroom inside to fit the heatsink. I know many of you already have one. Will you please suggest me some cases that I can look at and decide.

Thanks.

I have the same heatsink on my old HTPC in an Antec NSK2400 (same as the NSK2480). It's a very tight fit, but it works.

The NSK2480 can only hold M-ATX motherboards. The fit of that heatsink would also depend on the placement of the CPU socket on the board.
