I've had (still have on a shelf) two Hyper212+ coolers, and now use an Evo. They are quiet, easy to install, and work very well.

lol the shipping would be about 15.00 bucks or a little cheaper I mailed a PSU OFF in my same state for that much so it shouldn't be more then that it goes by weight so it could even cost 5 bucks

you would be a fool not to take Deacon up on that just saying lol ;)

I used to have a Rosewill Challanger, and I suggest you measure. I don't believe a Hyper212+ will fit. I think you don't have the clearance. I ended up with a Cooler master TX3. As I recall, it is about 1.5" shorter than the 212. The 212 is a better Heatsink, but I don't believe it will fit. Either that or one of the closed loop water coolers.
