An Arctic Cooling NV Silencer 6 Rev. 2 VGA Cooler fits on my 7900GS in my NSK 1300 case, but it takes up all of the PCI slots (the last PCI slot is mostly open, but anything installed in the slot will contact and push against the NV Silencer -- i.e. my Sound Blaster Live! sound card). The (very affordable Thermalright V1) does fit, however, and takes up only one PCI slot at the most (depending on what you use the adjacent PCI slot for). You can use the provided Antec exhaust blower to elegantly remove heated air from the video card to the outside, too. Mount it in the adjacent PCI slot to the video card.
An Arctic Cooling Alpine64 requires extensive modification to fit in the NSK 1300, as it is a tall boy. I had to dremel off every fin down to the notch for hooking the fan and I have to trim off part of the fan's plastic guard to get it to fit under the Antec PSU. DO NOT buy an aftermarket cooler for the NSK 1300 higher than ~75mm (stock AMD fan height) unless you plan to do some serious modification OR unless you can just use the HSF with no mounted fan (you can always mount a fan on the side panel's airduct with the provided fan mounting assembly and have it blow right onto the HSF, though).
I mention these two coolers because they are VERY affordable and are ultra quiet/silent (which are two virtues that the NSK 1300 is very good at). $16 shipped for the V1, which is compatible with 6 and 7 series NVIDIA VGAs, from heatsinkfactory.com and $13 for the Alpine64 from newegg.com.
Thought I'd add to the common knowledge pool, as us SFF users must communicate such things for others who want to make a smooth transition from clunky standard ATX.
Cheers, fellas!
