I'm in love with those coolers.
And while, yes, I do love the last one, though it's:
1/ $150 more expensive, again. I could buy just about any mid-range video card for $150, and I still need to upgrade my desktop.
2/ lol online shopping. Dad's safekeeping my money and he doesn't feel comfortable doing shopping online.
I would be able to convince him if the one with the video card actually went for $850 (only $80 more than the one without), but I did a little bit reading and learned that I'm required to pay use tax (in place of the usual sales tax) for it, which would bring the difference up to $175.
Not quiteeee comfortable, if you know what I'm talking about.
Also, I know it's normal for video cards to run 90+ degrees, it's just not pleasant to know that my beloved CPU (which is running at 40 degrees lower) is sitting right next to it inside a tightly packed space.
