SO-DIMM memory at least was cheaper than the desktop versions for some time... I think it is marginally more expensive now but it's still super cheap.

For a heatsink use a block from a 1U server system then put a slim (10mm thick) fan on top. You can get something that takes up less height than a standard IO plate.
