If price is no object go with copper!!
It is much more efficient than aluminum!

You have to think of this.. one of the best things about the xp-90 is weight.. its very nice and cools very very well. The all copper unit seems to cool 2 to 5 deg cooler on benchmarks, which isn't worth the 300+ grams of weight it adds to the unit in my opinion. the xp-90 is a cheaper, lighter performer.

Not necessarily, aluminum is better at some things than copper, and vice versa.
i still say go with the regular XP-90... the huge pig 5x the weight of the regular XP-90, XP-90C offers no benefit at all really. I think the XP-90 looks better than the C version too. But that's just me.

The copper is too heavy and expensive to justify its performance gain. I'd go with aluminum.

And for the fan, obviously 92mm Panaflo M1
