Need a good but cheap heatsink? Go with Taisol, that's the one I got. Here are my specs

Tbird 800 @ 1029Mhz @ 2.01v (Can't go any higher which sucks)
Asus A7V
Artic Silver II, it helps with 1 degree from Artic Silver 1
Temps idle = 41 Degree Centigrate
Temps Load = 44 Degree Centigrate
It's loud but it works,

Minimum on Tbirds I would say 60mm. Anything lower then that you are asking to fry your CPU. The heatsink you showed there really isn't going to cut it even if it's twin fans. When teh fans are counter rotating they only produce more pressure not CFM. There really isn't a good reason to stack fans like that.

that hsf on ebay doesn't look good. too fancy a design with too few fins, and double-stacking fans doesn't help anyway. spend the extra and get a good hsf.

Get a fop 38 or the wbk 38, the best HSF for the price.
The Alpha's with the delta fans rock, and the swiftechs are good too, but expensive.
