Decide for me (case)

I can't decide for the life of me which one to buy. They are about the same price. $50 and $60.

http://www.ahanix.com/g_dbox.html

I head that the dbox's thermal sensor burns up if you put it in between the CPU and heatsink. That is the only place I have heard of putting them. Heard of this?

Thanks

A reviewer at neoseeker posted the instructions for the thermal sensor placement. Look at them and if you read what is says in the lower left. It says: "If the sensor places between CPU core and Heatsink, the damage of thermometer sensor and CPU overheating could be caused." While obviously a bad translation, I think it means don't put the thermometer BETWEEN the cpu and heatsink, which I hope no half-brained person would ever do.

Yeah...is the sensor's wires thin enough to thread underneath the CPU? the little sensor I got with my Volcano 9 works like that.

Both have temp sensors and both have fan controllers built in. The Dbox has 3 thermal sensors that u can monitor and place anywhere you want. I just couldn't decide.

Also, he dbox comes with a silent 120mm fan.

I'm still thinking about 'em.
