Hmmm...get the alpha pal35. Its sweet and is around that price.

the alpha pal35 is NOT around $15. If you want to spend 15, go for the Tai sol, nice lil HSF, if not get the FoP38.

for $15 get the taisol (you might wanna spend $20 and get the bigger taisol) also the vantec is $15 and is what i use, and is very good (if i take the cover off my microatx case it takes my 800 down to 46C at full load.

speaking of alpha's, where can I order them? Anyone want to help me out and throw a link up for me? thanks

chrome orbs are $15, they have 10k rpm fans on them and if you manually smooth the oh-so-rough bottom they work pretty well. I've pulled mine on and off a dozen or so times without cracking my very early duron 650 core. BTW, how can I tell which week this ah heck is?
