I think theres another brand out there that uses the same design but the fins on the cooler are a lot more thicker. cant remember who it was made by though but the fins are blue...
:EDIT:
I found it....
It was the TT 'Max Orb' (they did make a version with blue fins)
similar design, but with a different mounting system
