Core i7 Air Cooler

I'm in the market for an air cooler for my i7 920 and was wondering what my best option was. I was hoping to spend in the $30-40 are but after looking around I've sort of given up on that. So what is my best option? Right now I'm looking at:

Newegg.com - Thermaltake V1 Max-Performance CPU Cooler with Massive 110mm Blue LED Full-Range Variable Speed Fan Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition & Core i7 Ready LGA 1366 CL-P0401 - CPU Fans & Heatsinks

Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme-1366 RT CPU Heatsink (Socket LGA 1366) - FrozenCPU.com

Is there anything better out there? And how do these stack up?

get the Thermalright... its probably the best air cooler compatible with 1366 out there at the moment

Thermalright ultra-120 extreme is in the top 3 for aircoolers but its also pretty large so you will need to check case compatibility

Thanks guys. I have an Antec 900 so I did a quick search and it is suppose to just barely fit so I'll do some measuring first and hopefully pick one up.

you have to remove your case fan, unless you get a 90mm.

Wouldn't the only fan that could get in the way be a side fan if you added one to the case?

the V1 is a little more hype then hit , get the Extreme, and I think it'll be a close call but it should fit in your 900

I meant the side fan will have to be removed.
