Right now, I have both that I got at $23 with tax and shipping:
Cooler Master Hyper 212 plus Cooler
CORSAIR CAFA70 120mm Dual-Fan CPU Cooler ($15 MIR)
However much I would like to keep both, perhaps I would be returning the 212+.
Before I do that, some questions:

The CPU is a Q8400 and the RAM is a PC6400 TWINX that runs at 400MHz.

The RAM being of the "economy/value select" type, I am not going to increase...
1. I need to decide on what UPS to buy for my system.
