I got a lil input, I noticed that the Heatsink was labeled as
"Heat Sink Material SPAMAluminum 6063"

Would'nt you think if you do have to make the sacrifice of size that you would atleast use copper as the Heat Sink!?

Also I dont think "bigger is better", in the least. SPAMI went overkill with the Dragon Orb 3, on a XP 1700+, L8er I built a xp 1800+, and only through a TT Volcano on it. SPAMThe 1700 is running at the same temp as my 1700+, and the 1700+ has got 2 more 80mm fans then the 1800+. SPAMOh and you can hear my PC from the neighbors.

I have about 9n fans on my computer not including the HSF and Active memry cooler. HMM. Now that you mention it I would have liked to see that HSF in copper. I would also like to see some copper video cooling.

it would also look real good on that eye candy mobo from Soyo (http://www.netsmog.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=hardware&action=display&num=1022597768). Fit perfectly on that North Bus instead of that ugly Soyo fan. A match made in Heaven.

Yeah that would pretty much kick ass. I am considering buying one of those.

I like the Crystal Orb for Northbridge work. I even put one on my video card in my secondary box. SPAMThey look nice under lights: SPAMhttp://www.rivergodsmods.com/files/Tt_Trio_400.jpg

I love that mirror that you have there.

Thanks. SPAMI like mirroring the bottom and backs, where it will fit. SPAMI use velcro to mount. :)

I wrote a "how to imrove light" piece on my site quite a while ago, using metalic mirrored duct tape you should check it out.

Nice website. SPAMThat is a good review on the reflector tape. SPAMIt is insulated, so that should deaden sound a bit too.

Sound is a problem but only if you are trying to sleep

I kinda like the white noise of the fans when going to sleep. SPAMWhat I don't like is the fans covering the sound of footsteps, or bad guys speaking while playing Rogue Spear, or Ghost Recon.

They are excellent! 8) SPAMI like to snoop around on night missions with a silenced weapon best. SPAMIts a bit slower than Counter Strike, but I like both of these better.

What does it look like with all those fans?!? I am guessing you have a large or full tower case to have room...
