I voted for the zalman....because I like to be a rebel.

But the zalman 9500 vs the V8 is like asking do you want a 1977 Pinto or do you want a 2009 Corvette. The 9500 is years old technology, the V8 is a few months old. Of those two get the V8 without a doubt.

I voted for the Zalman because I own and am using one now. I have had this for about a year now, and I love it. True, it is older tech, but for me it does get the job done. Plus, I love the look of copper! My Rampage Formula matches nicely with it.

The V8 looks OK, but not quite my style. I think it really comes down to personal preference since it is doubtful there will be any side-by-side comparisons.

I gotta agree on that one, especially for the price. about my last comment, yeah the megahalem, would be considerably more pricey, it doesn't come with a fan =\.
