How do you like that CPU cooler, I heard they were great value and was thinking about getting one for another pc I have laying around so it doesn't run as hot in the summer.

My system is outdated, the last upgrade was a year after I initially built it.

I have the 212+ and would also have to agree

I know they are fairly tall, but how tall are they? Would they fit in your typical case from an off-the-shelf computer?

You need to make sure your chasis can accomodate the height. Typically they'll list it in the specs. If you buy a chasis, mid towers can accomodate 160mm. But I don't think off the shelf chasis can support these coolers, usually they'll design it acc. to their own specs.

I looked at it at Bestbuy and figured it would most likely not fit, so I did the only logical thing, bought a water cooling system for my computer and used my stock cooler from my black edition AMD CPU which was much better than the original cooler on the old computer anyways.  However I have now caught the water cooling bug and want to use it in every place I can, luckily I have a big case to accommodate it all.

Custom water cooling is nice....especially the open loop ones.

I remembered you asked this and as I recently (Black Friday) gave in and bought Crysis 2. Runs flawless at maximum settings, no lag whatsoever - it's an incredible game (so far!).

Just wanted to update.
