Very Nice Review RJR!
I dig the design of the Heatsink/Fan. Its nice seeing just the Blades of a fan gives it a real unique look IMO.

I dunno, it has it's own little niche I guess. It's too small to give great performance, and yet too big to put into an HTPC or SFF case.
But the price is pretty darn good, so I'd consider this if I were working on a budget build.

I guess it would depend on the case, but the cooler is only 66mm high (approx. 2 1/2"), so it should fit in most HTPC/SFF cases.I dunno, it has it's own little niche I guess. It's too small to give great performance, and yet too big to put into an HTPC or SFF case.
