Took me a few seconds to realize that the heatsink wasn't upside down in the pics.

The biggest problem with this heatsink is that Noctua is late to market for HTPC heatsinks. Prolimatech has had the Samuel 17 out for a year or better and it's a lower profile cooler to boot. The Samuel 17 doesn't have room to mount a fan underneath, but it does have 6 heatpipes versus 4 on this heatsink. And Thermalright has had the AXP-140-RT out for quite a while too and it's height profile is very similar to this one.

The Cooler Master GeminII S524 , if it isn't too tall sells around $30-35 and is equivalent to a Corsair A50 on most charts with stock fan.
The Enermax T60 is reputedly louder than it should be and can infringe on memory slots.
The Samuel is the lowest and good for its size.
