57 I looked again after I sent my reply. I thought that URL ended in the
58 code for Germany.

60 I don't recall ever buying computer stuff from Amazon. I buy other
61 stuff from there but not puter stuff. It's generally Newegg or
62 Tigerdirect and I lean heavily on Newegg. I think the OP mentioned he
63 was interested in Newegg too.
64
65 I guess it is good for the folks that use water cooling tho. I run
66 plenty cool and quiet with air so I'm not planning to switch. I still
67 like my CPUs to be bare when possible then purchase my cooler separately.
