Default Need guidance on a cooler

OK guys,
All of these coolers have good ratings, but I need to know which will work the best for my setup. I have sli 9800GT's, and need better cooling for them. I am using modded battleaxes, but they just can't cut it in an sli setup. I can't get a fan in there that can produce enough static pressure, and still allow sli.

I am looking at the duorb, the scythe musashi, and the arctic cooling extreme 9800.

Please let me know what you think, and if you have pictures, that would really help.

I'd recommend Musashi or Coolink GFX Chilla, both are slimline (allow for breathing room in SLI) and will cool your card very well.

With the GFX Chilla you could replace stock fans w/ slim 80mm fans and get further cooling as well.

EDIT: Check out this review on Bjorn3D; if it handles a 4870 that well, your 9800GTs will be golden
