The weight is horrible. I wonder what mounting system is going to be neccessary. Perhaps it'l have to be mounted the one of the side panels apart from the usual straps
1155g?!?!?!?!?! That is ridiculous, there is no way in hell im putting that in a PC unless it is sitting flat with foam supports behind the motherboard.
frostytech.com has a review up, looks like that cooler would be what silent freaks want, can't hear it and still performs well.
