Saw em at ocz.safeshopper.com and pctoyz.safeshopper.com.

I think thier the same store since when one gets something in stock the, the other one does too for the same or about the same price. Not to mention they ship from the same location (The Computer Zone).
I ordered something from OCZ a long time ago..took about a month to ship here.
However, I ordered something else from PCToyz about a month or 2 ago, and it arrived in 3 days, which is pretty normal. I think they got thier problems sorted out, even though thier rating sucks at www.resellerratings.com. (http://www.resellerratings.com.)

Worth a look if you ever wanted one of these. I never saw em on sale til now.

Got it week and a day after order (they dont update thier order status). I complained a week after I ordered about them not shipping it, and to my suprise, it arrive the next afternoon by 2day FedEx.

Also, the $5 dollar 60mm fans there are Sunons. Cheapest Price Ive seen for them.

The Agilent was a little worse than my Alpha PAL6035 w/ Y.S. Tech, but alot quiter.
(I scraped off the TIM and used Artic Silver on both).
I took it off once on the first day I put it on, and noticed only after about 5 minutes on the chip, there was an imprint on the Articooler, where you can actually read the words off the chip (the AMD ATHLON part of it anyways)...this was on the actual aluminium and not the TIM, since I had scraped it off.
After 2-3 days of the articooler being on there, and not touching it, the temps dropped about 5 degrees C. Maybe its 'melting onto' the CPU. Not really sure, not impressive to say the least. This makes it about 3C cooler than my Alpha, and alot quieter, not to mention the HSF is much much MUCH smaller.
I still find thier shipping/ordering department to be disorganized, but if your willing to wait 1 1/2 weeks to get your stuff, check it out. Theres no where else you can find the Articooler, especially for that price.
