Question about Volcano 7+

Does anyone know when the thermaltake volcano 7+ is being released? I have a volcano 6cu+ right now, and the 7000 rpm fan is driving me nuts. Sure, it keeps my Athlon XP 1700+ at a chilly 34C, but I don't think it's worth the noise.
 
Thanks for the info. Does anyone own this yet? I've read reviews, but they were of pre-production models. Do the thin fins really work well? Is it worth the $45.99?
 
I heard it's really good; it's all copper, and most all copper HSF's are already better than similarly designed non-coper ones, then it has more fins than the Volcano 6/6+. To top it off it comes with a fan switch that has 3 speed settings! I'm definately getting either one of these or the new Alphas for my P4 Northwood.
 
I actually just got it last Saturday. I installed in and was just amazed at how quiet it was. My 7000RPM Volcano 6Cu+ sounded horrible compared to the 7+. In terms of cooling, on its lowest setting (quietest) it keeps my Athlon XP 1700+ at the same (if not slightly lower) temp as my 6Cu+. I'm glad I spent the extra $$$ and got a good, quiet HSF. I highly recommend it.
