Thermaltake Tsunami, ASUS A8N32-SLI, Zalman CNPS9500

Breaking it down this much might be hard to get a response but I'll try anyway. How well does this CPU Cooler fit on your mobo? Does it meet the space requirements? Also, does it fit when you have a side window mounted fan? According to http://www.zalman.co.kr/product/cool...D_754_eng.html, the chassis cover is barely high enough for clearance. If that's the case, I'd imagine you'd have to take the fan off and mount it on the outside of the case. Any available pictures would be appreciated as well

You could measure from the motherboard base to the inside lip of the caseand see how much space there is. you will need around 5.5 " or 135mm. With a fan add another inch. If the outside width is 8" , may be able to keep the fan.

I've got the same MOBO and the Zalman cooler, it fits with no problem at all. Unfortunately I can't help you out on the case.
