I've used this one in my LC10M (the same as yours but with a VFD):

VERY quiet but there are (slightly more expensive) more efficient  
coolers out there that'll run just as quiet.

It generally depends on your motherboard as well as your case - some  
CPU sockets are too close to the PSU, or have hi-rise capacitors  
around the CPU socket which prevent the cooler from sitting in the  
right orientation, if at all.

I tried a CNPS9500 but it didn't fit - it interfered with the  
annoying (pointless?) bar that runs accross the top of the case RIGHT  
above the CPU!

The 478 CPU's don't run too hot so you'll have plenty to choose from,  
it's the LGA775 P4's that get get quite toasty - mine was running at  
a steady 50°C on idle before replacing the stock cooler.
