question for MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum owners

going with the

K8N Neo2 Platinum and AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (winchester)

i was lookin at the Thermaltake TOWER112 CL-P0024, however i dont see that it says it works with a 3500+ also it seems very large and im concerned about it not being a proper fit for this motherboard possibly.

i've read about the Thermalright Heatsink for P4 & K8 CPUs, Model "XP-120" and the "XP-90" and it seems some ppl have trouble with that heatsink taking up the first 2 ram slots. so for anyone with this board setup i am wondering what heatsink/fan solution you use, thank you.
 
after looking at a few more reviews and reading on thermalrights website it appears the xp-90 has no issues of size and isnt near as big or heavy as the tower112 so i'm going to go with the thermalright xp-90, now to figure out what fan to get..
 
The XP-90 works fine. I have the same mobo/CPU setup and I have the XP-90. For a fan I got a Panaflo high-speed 92mm fan, 35 DBA and something like 54 or so CFM.

EDIT: Baghead is teh pwnzors.
