What cooler for 8800GT?
I got a 8800gt and I was wondering what is the best 3rd party cooler? I got about a half a foot of space between my graphics card and the bottom of my case? I've seen the Accelero and the hr-03. Which one should I go for? I got around $100.

if you spend $100 on a vga cooler most of OCN will slap you
 don't spend more than $50 on an cooler, anything past that won't really give you better performance. what case do you have?

The Zalman VF900 should be perfect for you. It only costs 37 bucks.

I wasn't planning to spend all $100. I was just setting it as the limit. For my case, I don't know what make and model it is, but its a medium sized tower.

Thanks CorryBasler and everyone else, but I think I am going to go with the Zalman VF900. I read a couple reviews like:
