you wont need the heat sink
the Q6600 should have a rubber coat

edit:
the heat sink is ofcourse better

just remember to remove the rubber coat before you apply it

I bought it from overclockers.co.uk as I decided that if I was going to trust anyone to sell me an overclocked pc it'd probably be them

hooked it up last night and have good impressions so far especially that despite it being overclocked and having a shedload of fans (including a massive one on top of it!) it's almost silent. think i'll be using a case and coolers like these when i get around to building a media pc

Spent most of last night installing my usual applications, though I'm sticking to windows firewall as free version of zonealarm is a bit dodgy on Vista still.

Before I went to sleep I had enough time to run the Half Life 2: The Lost Coast stress test on it and was highly impressed.

I might actually have time to play games on it tonight!

Methinks I might need to look at a system like that myself, just got a 3 grand bonus at work that needs to be spent!

nice - i got a £500 bonus once (less tax) but that was back in 1998

you're lucky i didn't get any bonus last year

i can't afford a new pc either... even tho my desktop is dying a slow death....
i have however just invested in a new ipod touch that comes out next week and looks very very cool
