    theres no guarentee that there is any difference specification-wise between the A and S panels. Samsung may have manufactured a batch of panels themselves just to hold themselves over until their subcontractor got the samsung designed but non-samsung built panels to market.

    Zalman 9700 or the Tuniq Tower 120 Cooler?
