i read your reviews, and have seen quite a few have installation issues, but this cooler is down to $10+$8 for shipping with combo and it seems difficult to beat at that price (provided it works). I agree for full price there is better but at under $20? I would still like to hear your opinion if this is just a cooler to avoid at all price points.
I also still have the Noctua NH-U12P in my cart but I am not sure a 12 cm fan will fit in the lian mid-size...
Anyone have any idea how to deduce this without owning the case? I may decide to go without cooler for the first couple of weeks, measure, and order then.

I don't really know anyone looking for one, but I suppose if someone makes a good offer, I would consider it.
As far as the 4770 is concerned. If you can find one, post link here... I came up with nothing in more than 15 online retailers. But if you catch one with fresh shipments let me know. It is a great non-AA/AF card.

both cost more than n520 with combo deal ($10 + $8 shipping), are you saying these (or any other) are better alternatives?

awesome, I appreciate the heavy handed advice (I am bull headed). Good to know where you rank that cooler (frosty ranks it fairly well and was actually what got me looking at it in the first place). I will probably hold off on buying a cooler til later and look for a less frustrating cooler.
unless I find a nice deal on the noctua listed above...

I'd offer to sell you the N520 review sample, but that seems mean. And it would cost about as much to ship as a new one anyway.  |
