Hey guys, system is about done, and can't for the life of me make a choice between these three. If you have experience or know of a review that compares the three please answer and post the link or your experience with them, thank you.

Oh Yea, sorry.

Going to be put on a AMD 64 3500+ paired with an Asus A8V. Not really too concerned with the noise, I don't expect it to be completely silent
 
Thermalright makes really good heatsinks esp at keeping a cpu cool. However depending on which fan combination you choose, it can make the pc quite loud. If you are after silence, i would go with the zalman since they make one of the best heatsinks that compromise temp for quietness.

Personally i recommand, the xp120 and get a 120mm fan that pushes alot of air. Sound really doesnt bother me since i am always listening to music when at my pc
 
I use the Hyper 6 on my Newcastle 3200+ and it allows pretty good overclocks even with me using undervolted Panaflo fans.
As AyashiKaibutsu mentioned it looks nice in a windowed case also.
 
Man, I wish I'd know about the XP120! What an awesome HSF!

I just bought the Thermaltake silent tower to cool my Prescott 2.8E in the new Dell 400SC. Though it's quiet, the mounting was a beeeeeeotch!
