H60 with Corsair Link probably, Air Cooling looking cool with blue leds is just a nope.

The Noctua NH-D14 is awesome and fits, but that doesn't fit the "cool looking; blue lights" qualification.

The NZXT Havik 140 fits, but it doesn't come stock with LED fans.

The Xigmatek Dark knight, and the Tuniq tower 120 are good options, but I think they've been discontinued and would be hard to find.

The Thermaltake Frio OCK just fits, but I've never seen it used, and even though it has the blue it isn't LED.

The Havik 140 doesn't fit. It's 166mm tall.

You could get a 212 Evo or some other heatsink and replace the fan with a Gelid Wing or Cougar CFD.

My bad, NZXT's site doesn't give the dimensions with the fans on, and lists the height as 160mm, which is the limit for the case.

Now, the fans are mounted on what are basically rubber bands, so you could probably slide them down a little bit and force it to fit (I have them slid up a little for RAM clearance). But obviously that's not the best idea, or a reasonable risk to take, so I wouldn't recommend it.
