TRUE120 or Noctua NH-D14 for Core i5 750?

I'm planning to use the 750 with a Gigabyte P55A-UD3P. I'll need a heatsink that will be compatible with the mobo. Next, it'll need to be able to have a good performance/cost ratio. I will most likely use a 120mm fan at the lowest settings. Which heatsink should I get? Yes, I'm definitely going to o...

What's a good value hsf for this videocard? Is the AC S1 good? Easy to install? Any instructions on how to remove the stock cooler on the Geforce 9800GT?

If it has nVidia's reference cooler then its stock. You can easily confirm by verifying your cards cooler into stock nVidia models. Hi, I'm not sure if I understand you there. Can you look into this for me? I can't tell by looking at the card. Here's a picture of the card: http://www.bfgtech.com/bf...

Silencing the BFG 9800 OC+?

I just got the BFG 9800 OC+. Does anyone here know if the card is using a reference design? I intend to replace the stock HSF with a thermalright HR-03GT. I'm afraid there might be compatibility issues if it doesn't use the reference design.

Will the AC S1 fit the Palit Radeon 4850? That card doesn't use a reference design and I'm afraid it won't fit.

Which LCD mount are you using? Also, how did you manage to get your fans to hang like that? I'm really impressed with how clean your setup looks.

Scythe Ninja Copper 6 with Gigabyte DS3R and Antec NSK4480?

Will this combination all fit together? Are there any other cheaper alternative to the Scythe Ninja that can use a 120mm fan?

Does anyone here know of a professional place that will paint the front faceplate black? I want to ensure that the colour of the faceplate will match the rest of the case. The only way to ensure this is for a professional dealer to do this. I just don't know where to start to search for one.

The serial code won't mention January 2006, but if the number is greater than S0601, like S0602, then I should be ok?

Recommendation for heatsink to use with my Nexus 120mm fan

The motherboard is a DFI NF4 Ultra-d and it has a socket 939 CPU. I'm looking for a reasonably silent setup with a very mild oc. I have contemplated of getting the Thermalright XP 120, but there seems to be some issue pairing that up with the 120mm fan. Thanks.

Has anyone contemplated of getting the colour of the front face plate painted to black? I'm thinking of getting the Solo and get the silver face plate painted to match the rest of the case. However, I'm not sure how much that would cost.

Sorry, I meant AS 5. Um, so there is no difference in removing the components later right? Like if I use AS 5 or Ceramique with RAM heatsinks, both product won't make it impossible to remove?

According to the SPCR Review, it can't. Is this right? Or I need to modify the fan in order for it to fit? Btw, I have the orange Nexus 120mm fan if that helps.

Sorry for being anal or anything, but this isn't completely black. IMO, the silver is destroyed what could have been the ultimate case.
