So I'm thinking of creating a dual xeon X5687 workstation/gaming rig, but I'm not sure what to get for the cpu coolers. I know that they need to have very little overhang as the two sockets are pretty close together, but right now the best option I've found are these Dynatron G555 coolers, that are specifically meant for xeon 5600/5500 processors. But I'd rather not spend $45 on each cooler. Can anyone recommend some good coolers for closer to around $30?

My concern with the 212 evos, and why I didn't pick them as an obvious choice, is I'm not sure if the overhang will be too much. The sockets are very close together, but I'll do some research to see how wide the 212 evos are.
