Recommend a low profile HSF for Socket A?

Like an idjit I got this soyo barebones
with the processor socket behind the PSU

So I need a short HSF to fit in there, probably with about 2500+ Barton... Recommendations? This is what I have found so far:

1. Spire Microflow II SPA07B2 ~ 2800+
2. Dynatron DC1206BM-L/ 610-P-Cu ~ 3000+ (?)
3. Cooler Master DP5-5G11B ~ 2?00+
4. Cooler Master DP5-6I31D-01 2800+
5. Thermaltake Volcano 10 ~ 3400
6. EVERCOOL CUC-610 ~ 2000+

EDIT: More (and best for me) below

Most of the 1U server fans seem rated at too low CPU.

Also saw a couple of neat blower fans:

I want one of these Dynatron Crossflow Fans if anyone knows where to get one in the US, let me know!

this one is kind of neat, could duct it out.
 
Thermal Integration V77L. 46mm. The one I got from cputopia.com has the high-speed fan - mine reads 4440 rpm by the MSI utility. I don't know which fan you get with the one from newegg.

. Dynatron Crossflow at http://www.mpcparts.com . Have you never heard of Froogle?

Thanks peeples! Hopefully this can help out a few others as well.
Re the CF-001: Yeah I gave up on froogle a while ago, guess I shouldn't have. I saw a pic of it fitting pertty nicely in a 5.75" bay and mounted vertically in the rear next to the 3.5" knockouts.

For the Ti-V77L it says:
Nominal Speed(RPM): 3200/ 3800/ 5000
Compatibility: Athlon xp up to 2.6G
 
Yeah, you can get the V77L with one of three fans. It is very hard to find out which one is in the box as there are no markings on it. The fan on mine is 70x15mm, 12V at 0.4Amps. I think it's probably the 5000 rpm one. This one should be able to hanlde higher than 2600+.

Nope, no switches, controls or temp sensors come with the v77l. Actually you can get 4 different fans with the same heatsink. The 4th one is a 70x25mm fan and the model no. becomes V77N.

Agilent ArctiCooler CA

Not really a low-profile cooler but it's probably smaller enough to be uses in most 1U case. I had used 2 in my systems. Don't let the rating in the spec fools you, I'm using one right now on a XP1700@2.2ghz. It's very quiet even for regular CPU cooler. Beware that many of those low-profile coolers are very loud. Yes, the clips are badly designed but just becareful during putting on or taking off. However, I am not sure if you can still find this CPU cooler anywhere.
 
Yeah cant find the ArcticCooler CA. Today I saw the OCZ Dominator 2 (44mm incl 21cfm fan) $12 shipped @ newegg. Rated 2400+ Linky
1CoolPC has it with a bigger 30cfm fan = 50mm total, 17 shipped.
Also considering ducting out from a bigger cooler like the OCZ goliath, which is nice because mostly boxed in already.
 
Cooler Master Copper Base CPU Cooler for Socket A, Model "CP5-6J31C-01"
3200+ Copper base, 44.5 mm high, 35.6dBA, $13.05 incl shipping
