So at lunch I won a $50 gift certificate to Circuit City. I am trying to decide what I should get to be able to get the most bang for my $50. I was kinda looking to upgrade my folding rig a little, maybe by replacing the stock cooler and then overclocking the heck out of it.

I am leaning towards maybe the Thermaltake V1 CPU Cooler but thats a good bit more than Newegg is charging, and I can't decide if I like it just because it looks pretty. It seems to have some good reviews. A little cheaper, would be the Zalman CNPS9500. I am sure this would do just as good a job, and would be cheaper and just a bit lighter. I am not a fan of the LEDs in either one of them though. Is this the same Zalman without LEDs? It seems to be pretty good either with or without LED and frankly I don't need the 1337 N3RD action that the LED would bring to the table.

I am going to be installing Vista Ultimate 64 soon, and might end up having some fiasco with my wireless card stemming from that. I will probably hold off till then to make the purchase.

Any other suggestions though? I would like to maybe be able to see a PPD increase because of this purchase, but its not a necessary requirement.

 
Update:

The mail just got here with my copy of Vista I bought from Flyingcrazy. Great deal. It is going to be Monday before I can do anything with it though. I will be going out of town again this weekend.

Rats.

 
Gift certificate to CC?

I would suggest some Jennifer Aniston movies and some microwave popcorn.

Ixnay on Vince Vaugn, however.
 
Find someone to buy the gift card for $40 or something and then use the cash to get a good CPU cooler. The AC Freezer 7 Pro should do a good job. Although you can get the Tuniq Tower for $40 before shipping and it would be better than any of the others.
