Yup. They should still have stock for a while, even with the water cooling nuts drooling themselves to death while clutching their credit cards.

mugen 2 is $38 iirc at newegg; always has been
s1283 has a weaker fan than the dark knight; copper revealed so it'll conduct better, but may slowly corrode

All of the prices shown are not exact hence the "~" symbol which generally meant "about". Shipping, time, and destination are big factors in cost so a semi-accurate median has to be given.

Your talking about my comment on it being the exact same cooler right? Yea I fixed the fan data in the spreadsheet and forgot to fix the comment. +rep thanks for pointing it out

I'll quote my own post from the post right above yours...prices go up and down. I am giving an approximation.

EDIT: By the way, its $47.60 with tax/shipping so my quote was close either way.

Nice guide. I think discussing the actual bearing types and possible consequences would prove useful too... Something similar to this:

Quote:

Sleeve bearing - horizontal orientation

When a sleeve bearing fan is mounted horizontally, the weight of the fan assembly is supported by thrust bearings at the shaft ends. Lubrication flows out of the sleeve bearing resulting in faster wear.

Sleeve bearing - vertical orientation

When a sleeve bearing fan is mounted vertically, the fan assembly is supported by the length of the bearing and lubrication is distributed more evenly.

Ball bearings are pre-loaded so the weight of the blade assembly is distributed through the ball bearings regardless of the orientation.

Oh and I haven't had time to play with my new CPU cooler but I picked up Cooler Master's Hyper 212 Plus for $24 shipped at buy.com a while back. It's currently $30 shipped. Here's a review of the little unit by HWcanucks:
