My Buy.com Experience.

I ordered 2 keyboards Monday at 7pm Central time.

They were delivered Wednesday morning at 9am.

I'd say they are OK in my book thus far.

As for heatsinks, either a Tuniq Tower 120 - Which is on my E7200 and kept load temps below 58C when overclocked to 4.5GHz and 1.7+ volts through it - suicide run though of course.

That is an absolutely great cooler.

The Xigmatek CPU cooler is a good one, you may also want to consider getting a TRUE- linkage. If you put two fans on that in the push pull setup you will achieve great results.

I used the 7-9 day shipping and got it practically next day. And on the Tuniq you can put ANY 120X25mm fan in there, mine is currently running with an Antec Tri-Cool blue LED fan.
