Today only. Newegg has the Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler for $70 with free shipping. Features a six heatpipe dual radiator, and a NF-P14/NF-P12 dual fan configuration. Excellent Newegg reviews.
I've had this on my i7 920 for close to 3 years. It's done a great job and still going strong. I've settled at 3.8ghz 24/7 stability. I did get it to 4.0ghz, but it wasn't quick rock solid and I got sick of tweaking and testing for such a marginal difference. I'd definitely recommend it if you want to give your CPU new life (I went from 2.66 to 3.8ghz) and don't want to go the water cooled route and have a decent board and CPU for OCing.
I still don't feel any need to upgrade my CPU and motherboard and probably won't until around whenever next gen consoles are released, or some PC exclusive CPU hog games come out I'm interested in.
Now this is something Dave would appreciate...

Seems sort of large and costly to me, though to someone who wants to overclock a lot without as much added fan or water pump noise...
