They might be close, but the Tuniq wins, IMO.
whoa...the Tuniq is only $44.99 at newegg.
Was that a one day sale or error? I am seeing it for $64 =(

I thought the tuniq tower came with a fan, or are you saying to get a different fan?
I measured what I have room for, and if I pull out my exhaust funnel over the CPU, then I will be able to fit in the fan. The power cable is right next to the cpu however, so I think I will get the tuniq tower, so that it uses more vertical space, (plus my graphics card pretty much destroys all low air flow anyway.)
MB is Biostar K8NHA-Grand. From center of CPU I have 79mm until hitting power supply, 90mm until hitting graphics card, 180mm of height, and have memory that sits 3mm up right next to the cpu. Since the tower is 5.5mm in the air, I think that will be my best choice.
Thanks for all the help. It seems that the tuniq is the recommended one anyway, and yea, for $45, its $15 less then the Zalman 9700.
last question,
1) I believe I will want to place another fan above where the CPU was, should this be pulling air into the system? or out? (current setup is one 90 in front bring in, one 90 in back blowing out, psu has fan to go out as well. however graphics card blocks most direct airflow to mb level where the cpu is. )
Thanks again for the help!
take a pic please and post I don't understand
actually thermalright 120 is the best out right now, but it needs a fan, read the description for it
I will blame it on my greasy fingers from all this free pizza I'm eating, w00t!
The fan on top should be an exhaust, pulling air out, because heat rises.
Yep...went up again. Guess it was a one day sale. What sux, is I had the money for it, right there.
Use imageshack or photobucket to upload your pics. They're free too.
The Thermalright 120, that vernong is talking about in particular, is the Ultra-120 Extreme edition...it is the best air cooler right now. Although many consider the Tuniq, because it's cheaper, and comes with a fan.
If it's a side case fan, it should be an intake, pulling air in.
