Um, all Thermalright coolers come with no fan. The point is you use your own!

But then it looks cheap lol.
What about a Typhoon VX its 63au compared to the 70 for the 95&9700 fans.
I also have to say im not planing to o/c just yet since the current speed of this cpu does everything i just dont like my idle temps in the 40's is it worth a new cooler for this or just leave the intel one use the money to buy 2 more gb of ram? which would be better.

Well i ended up getting a Tv tuner and another 120mm coolermaster fan but it seems my GPU is heating up more now because of the smaller amount of room it has.
I also took my old 80mm fan ripped that funnel thing of teh side of the case which runs to the cpu and put it there but iam so close to taking it off and putting the funnel back on because of how loud it is.
I just need an opinion, funnel or 80mm fan blowing in?

it depends how good your exhaust fan is. if it's fast or big, 80mm intake fan. If it isn't, funnel.

well im back here i need to help :D.
since i opened this thread and i dont feel like opening another one i will ask this question.
How do i get a clean picture through my tv tuners s-video in, im connecting a gamecube to it but the picture seems to be blurred up and sort of shaky like in severe need to anti aliasing :D i dont mean gamecube looks crap it looks perfect through the crt but here its shocking and i dont think this is the best it can be because what is the use for a s-video capture card then?
its a Leadtek Winfast DTV2000H i think.

Hmmmmm..... No reply still :D.
I figured this is being caused by the console outputing only 576i while my screen is at 1680x1050, Is there anyway like any upscaling software or something which will upscale the image to this resolution?

your monitor is already upscaling to the correct resolution as LCDs are only able to display their native resolution. Standard def consoles look dump on PC monitors unfortunately, I don't think there's that much you can do about it.
