The Xigmatek is one of the top coolers on the market. It's hard to beat their price/performance. They are a bit heavy, but they also have an optional backplate mounting system. The backplate comes included with the Dark Night version. Yes, the side duct can, and should be, removed.
It's been a while since I've built a system, the last I'd seen the "thermally advantaged" case was all the rage. I guess with these massive heat sinks thats not true anymore.
