Why not go for liquid cooling, h100 or something like that? Takes up far less room.

You should be easily able to fit the 212 Evo in that case.

You are looking at the NH-U14s, the NH-U12s is only 120mm tall.

Not sure which cooler you are talking about at this point. The u14s is 165mm tall. The u12s is 158mm tall.
