Prolimatech Readies Samuel 17 Low-Profile CPU Heatsink
Prolimatech's latest creation is an HTPC-friendly low-profile CPU heatsink named Samuel 17, after the Biblical Old Testament chapter with the story of David and Goliath. The cooler uses a CPU base in which six nickel-plated copper heat pipes make direct contact with the processor, and convey heat to a dense aluminum fin array that propagates along the plane of the motherboard. On this, users can install a 120 mm fan. The heatsink measures 92 x 45 x 82 mm, weighing 410 g. It supports all current sockets including LGA 1366, LGA 1156, LGA 775, AM3/AM2(+). It is expected to be priced at 40 Euros when it goes on sale.

Sorry but it looks more like Atlas(greek god forced to hold up the earth) to me.
Cool cooler. I like the looks but i think they overdid it with the number of heatpipes.
There is similar problem with AXP-140 but not so high as heatpipes are soldered in a different way.
€40 too, which isnt too bad. :)
