Year 2008 is the 5th year for Scythe brand since its establishment and this model is being announced as the 5th anniversary of Scythe.

Quantity is limited for this version due to the nature of the material. This model is featuring the LGA775 back-plate mounting mechanism to increase the contact pressure and secure the mounting to compensate the weight of the all copper design.

I saw this at Computex last year and Scythe were concerned about a reliable source of copper and the weight, so I'm kind of surprised to see it released as it's 1kg! but it does say limited quantities. QuietPC stock them in the UK - we're trying to get one in for review.
Seems to be such a waste of copper. It weights a ton and I'm pretty sceptical about the difference in cooling power. Also I'd make a guess that the base is copper, but only nickel-plated to prevent oxidising and add some bling. EDIT: Just to add, Cooler Master did something similar already closer to four years ago. All copper and close to one kilogram: http://metku.net/index.html?path=reviews/hyper6/index_eng It was just too much back then and it still is today. Imo.
