Default Need a cheap zalman cooler?

Ok this really can't go in the deals thread due to only a few buy it nows. But between myself and my friend we have bought 4x9700's, 2x9500's, 2x8700's from this guy over the coarse of a year. He ships quickly and will give you free shipping on a second item if you message him. They are all refurbished coolers but what can you refurbish on them?(the fan...lol)

http://myworld.ebay.com/refurbdoc (go to his items for sale)

I bought my zalman 9700 led for $35 shipped last year. I then went to http://www.sharkacomputers.com and paid $7 for a green led fan on it, two screws.

Before

After


Mods if this isn't allowed or if it needs to go to off topic or something please move close, this ebay store is in no way affiliated with me, just figured I would show people a cheap place to get zalman that I have used for awhile.

Sometimes you can steal them away at the auctions, but I have been waiting for a dirt cheap VF900 for a few weeks, not that $25 is bad but I want to get it for about $20.

I got impatient and didn't feel like bidding on refurbdocs item, so I bought my refurb Zalman CNPS9700 from Sharka, but it was made of fail. Though they did agree to RMA my cooler . But then I heard about the 1/2" washer mod for it so I'm gonna try that before RMAing it.

It could be. I think my censor is just stuck on my motherboard or a dead heatpipe.
