dont u think thats a bit much for the TRUE even though its hand lapped?
I would just get the non lapped version for $50 less

You can look at the ZEROtherm Nirvana. Supposedly its very good and is $38 on newegg.

Considering the time and effort I spent lapping mine?

Hell no. $40 is nothing.

After reading the article from Anandtech, I would highly recommend the Nirvana as long as you aren't OCing too much.

I'm pretty meticulous.. but CPU + Heat sink was about 6-8 hours. Heatsink was the hardest part because of the size of it.

Wow, if minimum wage is say $8, 8 x 7 = $56.

I guess $40 is worth it.
