best air cooled heat sink to be had?

whats the best copper air cooled heat sink to be had these days? used to be the Sk7. know this sounds like a newb question but i was doing watercooling for so long, and then i became a Mac convert and never looked back - well now i'm helping a friend of mine build a PC and are ramping it out and i'm back in PC world and i'm a little ashamed i don't know the answer to this question any longer. so whats the best air cooled HFS right now - preferably in copper. yes i'm aware that silver works better but thats a bit outside the price range that we're looking at.

thanks

SLK-900U with the Thermaltake Smart Fan 2 should suit you well with great performance/noise balance.

is a very nicec one to have, but it has some poor instrructions for it,,

Any of the SLK/SK series are very nice, especially when coupled with the SF2.
