lmao i do that all the time, getting my 92mm delta sensflow soon then ive gotta try and save up for a zalman fan bracket and fan mate so ill be doing that shortly!! it annoys me coz to buy a fan mate and zalman bracket on their own it costs more than to buy the cooler kit for a 200+ XP but in that u get a fan mate fan bracket lump of copper cooler and loads of other stuff and it works out cheaper!! im gonna get that and put the copper cooler on my gfx lol

My dads and my'ns policy is whenever we go to the range to some target shouting, if we pick up enough of the same type of shells, then we need to get that kind( didn't go over well with mom though)

Well said, I for one agree with that
Seems like every week i need something to satisfy my
overclock, stability, improvement's ext ext ...
And you would think that companys make enough
money off us lot
...Anyhow, I just did a similar thing.
I just ordered a Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer
"Unsure of revision yet"Ordered it before 12 noon so it would qualify for next day delivery !
Then got confirmation email stating next day was on the card's but
then i looked at my parcel tracking link and to my surprise it says
Expected delivery 13.04.2004
I forgot it was easter weekend 
...So now i gotta wait, Ohhh how i hate waiting
"EDIT"
Oh and does it really need lapping ?
If it looks feels and measures not quite perfect what do you recomend i lap it with ?
I don't think i have anything "Tools' ext" lying around anywhere
to lap a heatsink properly, What do you guys use "Paper glass ext ?

i'm on the same boat as you. And I really don't get the whole glass thing. how do you use it when lapping?

The goal of lapping is to get as flat a finish as possible; this is ONLY possible when the substrate below your sandpaper is flat as well.
The glass provides about as flat a surface as anyone can obtain on a common basis at a reasonable cost. Glass manufacturers make their glass to remarkable fine tolerances considering the medium. If you will use a small piece of glass with a solid resonably flat surface underneath, you'll do just fine. Example: use your fine sandpaper on top of glass, with the glass on top of a kitchen countertop or heavy wood cutting board or similar.
The entire process really isn't difficult. Overclockers has a good tutorial (and review ). Feel free to email with any questions that you might have, I'd be glad to help.
