i am thinking about getting 2cool's Voodoo3 cooling pack, but i can't seem to get the heatsink off. i know it's glued on, but i don't want to be pulling at it and end up breaking something. any ideas?

Run the computer until eveything is warmed up. Shut down and use a pocket knife or butter knife to pry the heatsink off. It probsbly will take more force than you are comfortable, but the heatsink will pop off.
