I've had great experience with the Zalman 9700LED (but certainly not anything for a Shuttle case- it looks big in my full tower case), but a heatsink/fan I've recently used for a couple builds is Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro (probably too big for Shuttle) and the one I'm using for the new Beast, the Thermaltake Max Orb.
The Shuttle inlcudes a cool little heatpipe that when combined with the (relatively) low power Duo Core e6750 means I can get away without a Zalman type cooler. Most of the time the unit will run fanless, if I start editing video or blasing zombies then a small fan on the heatpipe kicks in.
