i like 1, the copper is more shinny looking than the nickel platting in 2, and the ocz ram cooler looks awsome

i assume you have a window if your looking at asthetics?
i like the shining one too, copper has a nice color but bear in mind it WILL tarnish over time and all those fins arent going to be easy to clean. there are other copper coolers which are nickel plated because of this
i saw a case with red lights which reflected off a nickle plated heatsink and looked really nice, may have been a fatality case?

#1's GPU is a big no-no....and I don't like blue LEDs.
I'd say they're the same in cleanliness though.
Gotta go with #2.

on the copper tarnish i got a zelman 9500 led the 1st month or so that they were out and its a dull old penny looking color, but some vinegar baking soda, and baking flower will clean it rite up after i pull the fan out, u just dip the heatsink in the mix, wait 10 mins, rins it off, put it in the toaster oven @ 150F wait 30 mins then reassemble, and its shinny than new

I like #2. Not just because I own the Solo myself but because I like the fact that there isn't as much open room and it makes everything look tighter. I don't like too much "bling" in or on my computer either. I am not a fan of the overstated LED's etc. I like the simple, elegant, clean, understated look. Perhaps that's why I went with the Solo in the first place. :)

Gotta go with #1 here.
OCZ cooler and the blue LED's do it for me :D

I like the material on the 2nd cooler, if you can swap the fan from the first cooler to the 2nd cooler and get yourself some ocz ram cooler then you have a winner!
