I've ordered from Sidewinder Computers several times, they are a great retailer; buy with confidence.

Reseller Ratings is always a good resource for getting feedback from real people about online shops.

o-oh.. ive got a new problem. 2 of the sprung screws for the top cooler are going to come into the fan of the lower one. so it will have to be mounted another way, could i just get a couple of screws with the same thread as the mounting arms one and have it screwded on without a retention spring??? it wouldnt damage the card unless i tighten it too much, right??? id have to get a couple o' plastic washers for it as well, wouldnt i???

Yeah, you risk tightening the screws too much and either crushing the core of the GPU or bending/warping the board so badly that you have poor/uneven contact between the bottom of the heatsink and the surface of the GPU. So just be careful and just make very small adjustents at a time, evenly spread out across all four screws (as in, don't tighten one screw all the way, then go do the same to the next screw. Just tighten one a full turn or so, then the next a full turn, then the next a full turn, etc. That way all the screws tighten at about the same time and with the same pressure).

kool, thanks for the advice.

EDIT: i think i found a solution. instead of having 2 vf900's, i have a vf900 on the outside card, and a thermalright v1 ultra on the inside one, im still gonna need the double spacing kit, but i wont have to worry about how i mount the vf900, as there should be enough room between the two cards to fit it all.
