Will it fit into my case?

[Thaer]

Hello guys, and hopefully... girls! ;-)
This is my first post and topic in the Anandtech forums.
After reading a few threads, I draw the conclusion that the most of you are very good att hardware.
That's why I've decided to ask a few questions.

In the end of august I'm going to buy a MONSTER COMPUTER, a real good computer with other words.
The case I've chosen is the Thermaltake Tsunami Dream (Black version witch window). With it I'm going to pick these parts: AMD64 3500+ (s939), HIS Excalibur x800 XT 256MB ICEQ-II, 1024MB Corsair XMS 3200XL, 2 x Seagate Barracuda 200GB S-ATA, and the most important thing, the MSI K8N NEO2 Platinum mainboard.

To the question. Will the Zalman CNPS7000B-CU fit into the case and the mainboard?
I first thought to buy an Antec Sonata case, but the CPU-cooler wouldn't fit in the case because of the PSU on top of it.

Thankful for your help!

That is a review with lots of pictures. There you can see the interior too, but I can't see if it'll fit or not.

I opened the case at my work. I'm working at a computerstore called Webhallen (In english: Hall of the Web) in Sweden and I opened an Antec Sonata case and saw that the Zalman CPU-fan won't fit because of the PSU above the processor. In other words, the case is so small, that the psu will hit the heatsink.

All other cases the size of Sonata won't fit with the Zalman 7000A-CU.
