You could probably save a few bucks if you use stock cooling (assuming it was retail) and forget the zalman or go w/$10 cheapo job if you arent going to overclock.

We are talking about pinching pennies here. Savings and overclocking dont go hand in hand unfortunately. :(

Zalman is quieter.

Also I'm not trying to pinch pennies; if I was, I sure as hell wouldn't be spending $150 on a chassis and $110 on a motherboard. :)
