Hi Everyone,
For my new build: Intel Q6600 on a ECS G31T-M mobo in a MicroFly MX6 case.

Which of the two below would be better?

CoolerMaster Hyper TX2 $22
Pros: inexpensive; performed well in comparison tests; fan can be aligned with case airflow (?)
Cons: Will have to cut hdd support beam to make it fit.
OR
Thermaltake Blue Orb II $26AR
Pros: good reviews; biggest hsf that will fit without cutting case; on sale now.
Cons: still more expensive than hyper tx2; may hinder smooth airflow.

Anyone have experience with these, or have opinions ?
 
keep it simple, go with the blorb, though the case support can be cut why bother.
 
I like my Scythe Shuriken a lot. Handles quad 3Ghz *quietly*, which is great combination to have when you also have Noctua case fans.
