IceBox ATX Case w/340w amd approved
is this a good case?

Also, I've seen these memory cooling kits.
Looks like they a heat distributers. Are these worth it, do they really help any?

Do you have a link for that case? I've never seen it before.

As far as those memory cooler's go I think they are mostly for show.

Not sure about the case, I haven't seen those before myself.

As far as the memory heatsinks/spreaders, I have a set of the ThermalTake ones on my system. I put the heat spreaders on my memory and the heatsinks on my video card memory. The heatsinks on my video card memory allowed me to overclock my GF2 MX 30MHz higher so that was worth it. The heatspreaders I don't exactly know if they are bring any major benefit, but I do know this, memory does get pretty warm overall, and putting the spreaders on will at minimum extend the life of the memory by reducing heat. And they do look really cool and don't cost much for what you get.

Has anyone a pic of a memory stick with a cooler applied to it, I haven't seen such things before and I didn't know there was a need for mem cooling...

TIA;)
