cool looking but the friggin thing covers a ram slot. Looks from the image that slot is worthless with that beast installed. Those are also after market and not the stock that comes with the space heater...

HAHAHA ten bucks says if you tie a rope to that thing, and toss it into the wind, you'd have a hi-tech kite

"Tower to Geeky1-heavy(heavy = tower lingo for a BIG-ASS PLANE) , we have you on radar. " You are clear on approach for runway 21-A" !!!

That blue mostrosity is so big, you're gonna have to keep children and small pets away from it so they don't get ground up like hamburger!

Actually, you might have to reinforce your case so it doesn't collapse on itself due to the near-vacuum that beast would create

And I thought the Thermalright XP-120 (http://www.systemcooling.com/thermalright_xp120-01.html) was big...

Actually, if you look at the back of the supercharger intake-looking cooler, it appears to have a bracket that bolts into the exhaust fan port of a computer case. Now, if that bracket is connected to the cooler with a flexible hood, there might be some possibilities. I don't know how much that monster weighs, but perhaps it's just an aerodynamic shell around a beefy heatsink. Heck, I'd love to experiment with one. Geeky would too. I bet he's doing Google searches right now, trying to find that blue wonder. ;D

Holy Freakin ****! I didn't know about that one. I hope there's a A64 and a AXP version!

I want one, make that two - one each for my Northwood and Barton rigs! Ah fantastic, a heatsink that actually makes use of the full flow of a quiet, 120mm fan. (I've seen this before, just not the top-down view as posted above.)

Why is it that as soon as I go out and buy the biggest heatsink on the market for the P4-E, they come out with bigger ones? :rant:

Oh well, I think this will be sufficient for now, don't you? :D

You are truly nuts! BTW, your Geekyness, who sells the XP-120? My short Google search didn't reveal a vendor. SVC didn't have it either.

My guess is that at this point, no one sells them. Systemcooling looked at a pre-production model last week... that Thermaltake tower I've got on the NF7-S (until I RMA the IC7-G) was on Thermaltake's website for a month before I could actually get it. SVC was the first place to get it, as far as I know. I don't think you'll be able to get the XP-120 for at least another 3-4 weeks... :(
