BOXES!!
Lmao, now that I've got that out of my system. This is what came in the mail today!

Thats the AC Freezer 7 Pro for the cpu from holtzman and some U-channel (and a stick of DDR ram inside the Flip This comp not pictured) from christian_piper.
Now, before I go any further I want to take time to say another big THANK YOU to holtzman. He was leaving on a plane flight saturday and I had no way to paypal him before then. To save me from waiting until this Sunday when he got back to ship the cooler, he mailed it Saturday on good faith to me (I sent him a pic of the MO i filled out). On top of that he shipped it
priority and I got it today a full 2 days before I was expecting it (today). holtzman is the best guy ever, I cant say that enough! So once again, T
HANK YOU holtzman

Opening the box

Size comparison, pretty hefty cooler. At this point I was worried it might be too tall for my case.

Not bad, could use some fine lapping though. We'll see how temps go first.

Test fit of the mobo and AC cooler in the case. I undershot the flat black at the bottom, this board is smaller than my mockup I used.

Ohhh, close cut but it fits!! About 1/4" clearance from the heatpipes to the acrylic.
Oh yea, here are the donor parts my friend gave me. This is 512 (2x256) DDR2 400 and a P4 2.8gHz cpu. Not the best, but this will get my posting and used to playing with the new BIOS settings. Might try to OC the chip a little, and play with the ram too
