I'd get that Accelero. Looks like it does the job using a sleeker design. Those Thermalright heatsinks perform great, but are ugly and bulky, IMO. Of course, I'm not one for the huge heatsink look. I'd rather have water, and if you ever want to SLI a couple of these, I would suggest a small loop for just the GPU's, as it would be just slightly more expensive than two of these huge heatsinks, and would look and perform WAY better. On a recent i7 build I put together for my boss, we used an MCW60-R2 and Swiftech GTX200 heatsink on an EVGA GTX260, and added it to his FuZion V2, 360 rad, D5 pump loop. Thing idles at 40*C and loads at 43*C! And his house is usually pretty warm, too, so the ambient is up there, plus it's in the same loop as his VERY hot i7 920 @ 3.8GHz HT enabled, which loads at 65*C.
