Server heatsinks would probably be your best bet (1U or 2U heatsink), if you need it really short.

Agreed.

Thermaltake has something ... look here
(site is in german, but you might find the cooler somwhere else)

You might look at the Alpha PAL8150. It's not especially short but it isn't the size of your SI-97, closer to the size of a stock AMD cooler. I use a quiet NMB 80mm fan on mine and my temps are sub-40C on my Winchester 3000+. Sidewindercomputers.com has some uber-quiet NMB 80mm's for $5 at the moment, btw.

Agreed.

I've got that TT HSF. The fan is the worst fan of any size I've ever heard. It vibrates like hell, and sounds the same.

If you could get a different fan to fit, the heatsink might be ok.......but those fins are really short.

I do *KNOW* that the Zalman 7000Cu does fit in the Aria.
