    Well, the fanless heatsink I bought was about 32USD, or 43AUD, but it didn't come with a fan that I was supposed to get for it (the brand was from Zalman and the part number was ZM80C-HP, and I was missing the optional fan for it, so I just put a "custom" fan on). The main reason that I had to do that in the first place was that the original fan was acting up at first, so I had to buy a replacement, but it turned out that I needed to buy the optional fan, so recently I just stuck a regular case fan to the side of it where two logos are screwed on to it. I didn't care much cuz it was already OEM and I don't really care much for it now, it just works for my system as it is. I'm just waiting until the current technology gets cheap enough for me to fully upgrade without diminishing 2000+ dollars out of my pocket. Well, I hope that helped some.

    ok i found out i am going to buy a radeon 9800PRO as i found it can get better fps than the 6600gt. For the cooling solution im going to get 2 antec case fans (something my friend will get for me). And im going to get a 500W antec power supply. this is a total of about 300AUD all my old stuff will go into my brothers computer :p
