Unable to verify the Cougar Spike MicroATX Mini Tower Case and the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler are compatible.

Help please!!
 
Solution
Based on the width listed for the case, and the evo being 159mm tall, you only have 21mm for case structure on right side, mobo tray, standoffs, mobo, socket, and cpu. I'd think probably not.
I don't find official specs for the max cpu cooler height, but according to the reviews at Newegg, it depends on your cpu. One reviewer got it to fit with an AM3+ cpu (and no side fans installed), but said it was tight and probably wouldn't fit with an Intel cpu.
