I have a lonely Thermalright HR-03 GT. I was thinking of going for a Scythe S-flex F 120mm but do you think this is overkill for this heatsink? Or should I go for the Scythe D or E? What are you using?
Here I'm using the fan from the PSU to draw some air through the heatsink. Temps are 45 at idle. I plan on moving the 8800GT up a slot once I get a fan.

I am using a 120x38mm 70CMF quiet fan.
You should go for a 120x25 or 120x38 fan, forget the 80mm ones.
You can mount the 120mm with cable ties.
You should really move your vcard to the first PCI-e slot. It doesn't look good the way it is. PSU's are hot, and shoudn't be near it.
If you can lap your stuff, then it will be better too. Stock HR03's surface are not so good.
I get 48C idle / 54C load, on a XFX 8800ultra Extreme Edition, on a very hot room. I live in Brasil!

No doubt. I definetly plan on moving to the 1st slot but 45C isn't too shabby for being fanless. As for lapping, I'll check it out for straightness as see.
I think I'm going to go with a Scythe Sflex-F. Make that 2, on for the HR-03 and the other for the TRUE.
Nice cable management BTW.
