Default HR-03GT + 92mm fan VS Accelero S1 V2

Yeah, 8800GT has a poor stock fan. I've heard a lot of great things about the HR-03GT, except its pretty expensive and huge! (although I have room in my case)

I'd like to hear people's opinions on which option is better and why. If you choose the HR-03GT, could you please recommend a fan to go with it?

HR-03GT + 92mm fan: 33CFM - 50CFM (depending on the fan) ~$60
Accelero S1 plus the double fan: 42CFM, ~$45

Thanks in advance!

screw the addon Arctic cooling fan module thing. Just get yourself a good 120mm fan (like a yate loon, which is $5 shipped from xoxide.com) If you go the Accelero S1 route, then the yate loon fans have 3 different versions, all the same price. High med and low (although the low still has a good CFM and it's nearly inaudible, unless you're searching for the sound that it makes)
