go to pricewatch.com and run a search on the Gorb. thats a good way to find the best prices for an online vendor.

Overclocked CPU's has the best price I've found $10.99
(http://www.overclockedcpus.com/Merc...=CTGY&Store_Code=O&Category_Code=0011) also try
Nata Computer $12.00(http://www.natacomptech.com/cool.asp) or
2CoolTek $14.00(http://2cooltek.safeshopper.com/1/cat1.htm?448)

I've had great success with the GORB. Got 4 systems, 3 using GORBs and 1 using a FOP32-1. It's half the price of a FOP32/FOP38 and a third of PEP66 and quiet. Even if it doesn't work for you it's worth the $11 loss. What do you pay to go to a movie or out to eat and that's gone as soon as your done.

Good cooler on the *FC-PGA* chip running under a gig. 2 of my systems are P3700e's @933 and 970 both using GORB's. Temps are between 34-37c. The other 2 systems are celeron II's 533a@840 w/GORB and 566@850 w/FOP32. Had the FOP on the P3's and it cooled 1-1 1/2 deg C cooler but was much louder (to me). The FOP's back on the 850 in my daughters room.

Don't see how you can go wrong for $11.00. Just my opinion.
