    Help me find a US store selling...

    I'm looking for online US stores selling Arctic-cooling's VGA silencer (Link). So far, I've only found a single Canadian store selling them - the rest of the stores are in Europe or Australia. I've tried pricewatch, newegg, and google. Help?

    Not really - OcUK also has them, if I'm not mistaken. Thing is, Galant has offered to help me import from the US (Which is cheaper than the UK), so UK stores don't help any. :/

    i wouldnt buy one of those coolers for several resons, try and fine a vantec iceberq4 or something similar as it will be a lot better and quieter, and easyer to find shops that sell it... also a zalman passive cooler would be better, stick a low cfm 120mm or 80mm fan on one

    the niose level of the cooler on the site you linked is misleading, as 3dB is about 2x louder iirc, so thats 1.5dB less than standard 9800pro cooler, that is not much, and hardly noticable.

    cooling performace - i doubt any 9800pro would reach 80c even on a hot day where you are wih the standard cooler, i could be wrong though.. also a 9800p would make, iirc about 63w of heat, so you should doubt there testing when they measure the ati cooler at 79.6c using a simulated 30w of heat...

    fx5800 cards used this type of cooler, so why dont the improved 5900 ones use it too? - because they are niosy and crap

    Reason I'm going for it, seeing as I lack a Raddy, is to help clear the air out of what is normally a dead zone in most compy cases. Passive coolers and most heatink-fans just circulate the hot air in that bottom corner over and over again.

    Ahh, yes, I came across that a week or two ago. Was out of stock then as well. Though the Google search result justjust cuts that detail out.

    svc.com and heatsinkstore.com are one and the same.

    C:\WINNT>nslookup svc.com
    ...
    Address: 216.136.224.156

    C:\WINNT>nslookup heatsinkstore.com
    ...
    Address: 216.136.224.156

    Well it looks like SVC are the only US dealers. Here's the link to the manufacturer's website:
