didn't like the one I linked you to? Before oveclocking I ran a continuous 33C under load. I used that cooler with arctic silver 3 thermal paste. couldn't be happier. Even now running almost 75% overclocked (went from 1475mhz to 2250mhz) it runs 42C under heavy load

For the next PC I build I'm getting a PAL Alpha heatsink. It accepts a 80mm fan, but I'm getting an adapter to put a 120MM fan on top so it will still cool, but quieter.

Chris, the speakers rock! I kind of ghetto-rigged the tweeters up behind the sideview mirror spot, but they sound awesome! I'm getting a 4 channel amp soon to power those and my Boston 6x9s in back.

Cool. I hadn't heard from you so I was getting a little worried they blew up or something.

Not that I didn't like it, I just wanted to get some more opinions. You know, gotta shop around.
