Nice :)

The new fan fixing looks a lot better than using bendy wire.

The new fan mount is nice and it looks like a very simple yet effective 3 pipe design. I'd like to see it in comparison with some other coolers and see how it performs, it has a nice price tag.

The original Katana was a great value, if this ones cheap too it's bound to be a hit. :)

Out of those choices, Infinity dominates hands down.

Only thing I recommend with the Infinity is using a custom mounting mechanism with bolts, thumb screws, and springs... Good for an extra few *c :)

Agree with Frag. The Infinity's stock mounting system sucks.

I'd get an Ultra-120 over both though.
