Which cpu cooler? (1 millionth thread)

So a friend of mine is building his computer and decided that he would prefer not to cover up his motherboard with a large cpu cooler (be quiet! dark rock pro 2). Are there any other slightly smaller options that would perform similarly that also follow his black/red color scheme.

 

Any suggestions are helpful :P
