I just order a referb H100 from tigerdirect for 69.99 and free shipping. $70 a fair price? I haven't priced them, was a hung over impulse buy. I paid like $44 for my H60 this will be an upgrade and I will try to move the H60 to my media pc. Not sure how well that will work seeing it has 80mm fan slots. Some modding will most likely be in order.

For an extra $20 more you can get the H100i brand new from newegg

EDIT: If you want to do a mail in rebate tigerdirect has the H100i $10 cheaper

Well quick google search showed me some 80mm to 120mm adapters. Has anyone used these and do you recommend I take that route? Seems it would be the easiest.

I havent had great luck with Zalman products, but that H80i is nice. Next cooler I will be getting is a H100i or something newer when the time comes. Mine works now so dont rock the boat. I hate my antec 920 though. Its horrible!

and even room for a full 240mm radiator for compatibility with the Hydro Series H100i Liquid CPU Cooler and modular watercooling systems. (From website)

I thought you said it only has room for 80mm fans?

The media computer has room for 80mm fans. I may have typed it up wrong I am hungover a bit.

whats the difference between h100 and h100i is it worth $30 more $20 after mail in rebate? and possible shipping

Shipping is going to be the same probably. I would think it is worth it. I mean what is the point of buying an out of date watercooler when the newest is only 10-20 bucks more? Seeing that you have an i7 4770k CPU I would think it is worth it.

I still didn't get a good answer about using a 80mm to 120mm fan adapter to use the H60 on my media server.
