I can tell you right now it won't fit. The case is 7" tall (remember, this is the exact same case I have now for my file server, juts a different front on it), the standoffs are 1". This leaves you with ~5.5" inches clearance. The Cooler Master N520 barely fits, it is really close. That heatsink is 6.25" tall.

I was bored waiting for them to need me in raid. Found out my camera has a video feature! I've had a few people ask how it looks under load, so I recorded it. Even better, you can hear the server itself 
Make sure you have a DivX codec, if not, get it here:
http://thideras.com/downloads/klcodec485f.exe
Then download and watch the video here!

That is copying files out to the server via network, ripping movies via the DVD drive and rendering said ripped movies to x264 format.

oooOooo, getting all jumpy. Going to pick up a HUGE UPS and possibly a few servers:
http://sd.craigslist.org/sys/1290654852.html
Guy is giving them out for free.
That is the Compaq R3000 UPS. 2880 VA.
ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/proliantstorage/power-protection/rack-datasheet.pdf
New batteries are ~$220. You may thing "holy CRAP, that is a ton to repair one of those". A new UPS costs me 140 new and gives me a runtime of ~5-8 minutes. This will cost just under double that and give me ~140 minutes of uptime.
EDIT: It also weighs a whopping 132 lbs...

I can't move the UPS in by myself (might take the batteries out...), so I brought in the Dual P3 server that I got. Didn't take the AMD one.
With that being said, this case is nice. I can put whatever motherboard that I want in it (along with whatever power supply I want). So if I want to upgrade the system, I can.
Now I just need a friggin rack and a USE for these damn servers
