Heatsink Fits?

Does a Prolimatech Megahalems fit in a Coolermaster Storm Sniper case? If it does, say yes, if it doesn't can you think of a reasonably priced, sweet case to replace the Sniper?

Yes it does the Prolimatech Megahalems is about 6.2inches tall. The storm scout is 10inches wide so you should have head room of about 2inches+. I would worry about it fitting your motherboard more then your case. The Prolimatech Megahalems is 5.1inches(+fan) long most HSF are around 4inches.

I have a Gigabyte GA MA 790X UD4P ... I'm also getting a plate to make it fit AM3 socket.

hmmm...... It might be a tight fit but you should be ok it looks like it might hover over you RAM slots. It is hard to tell by a picture but the best thing to do is order it and see if it works if not just RMA it.

Alright, cool, I can't wait to get my whole upgrade done...
I'm planning to get an MSI 790FX-GD70 Motherboard, two ATI Radeon HD 4770s in CrossFire (possibly use my old 9800GT for PhysX), a Prolimatech Megahalems, Antec 1200, an OCZ SSD (30GB), two WD Caviar Blue 320GB in RAID 0, and my old WD 1TB for Storage and backup.
