You can do better than 6035, but you have to keep in mind that high performance and noise go hand-in-hand. The faster you pump air, the more effective your heatsink will be. Certainly there is an upper limit where diminishing returns occur, but the faster you push air, especially with an axial fan, the more noise it makes. There is no magic here. Ed put it, quite colorfully, into perspective, with his post:

i think on the net its a crap-shoot, prices fluctuate, but you almost always have to pay shipping. That's why if you live in a town where there's a Fry's, a Compusa, or what-have-you, even though the base price is usually higher you get it cheaper in a walk-in store.
Granted, most of the time you won't find the higher end items except on the web, but for instance compusa sells some thermaltake products, and fry's has a bunch of different orbs.
There's a place here in San Diego, "Computer Depot Warehouse', which now sells swiftech products, including the mc462a.
Don't forget to check out the buying guides listed on the home page.

http://www.2cooltek.com and http://www.crazypc.com has the lowest prices on good hsfs that I have found. I disagree with the shipping thing, I can get just about anything on the web with shipping cheaper than compusa.
