System Specs

Slim cooler for Lian Li PC-Q08

Im done finding the components for the build for my Mini ITX system, i5 2500K, Gigabyte H67N USB3 (plan on Z68 in 3-6 months) and 4gb DDR3. in 3 or so days I will buy the PC Q08 when it is in stock at my local store, and want to put a decent but low clearance cpu cooler on the 2500K to keep her cool for now and provide a little breathing room for an OC once I go Z68.

clearance for a CPU cooler is 100mm max, and I'd prefer around 90mm or so as to not have it completely choked against the PSU. any good suggestions for a CPU HSF with low clearance like that?
