I have decided to make a small, custom case, aluminium sheeting, possibly checkerplate.
the idea was to make it physically as small as possible, the size of a motherboard X the height of a PCI card.
its an E5200, I'm not going to include any optical drive, single 3.5inch SATA, and a powersupply which will be removed from its case, and pretty heavily modified (custom length cables, etc)
the question is, what CPU cooler should I be considering?
I will most likely be overclocking to about 3Ghz most of the time.
I will probably have a single 120mm fan in the case, directly above the CPU, so I may be able to get away with no fan on the CPU cooler, or possibly even the stock one?
thanks for your time!
