I cannot agree more that when an AIO first hits the market they price is astronomical. However, after a couple of months there are sales, and once the new series of cooler arrive, the older, but no less impressive coolers can be had at rock bottom pricing. For instance, the H80i which was brought up earlier can be had for much less investment as when it released.
Agreed. Also, off the
Uh no, but what's the temperature of the Fury X in summer? Simply install the radiator elsewhere if you can.
Grand Macho RT is not an AIO cooler, it's a standard tower cooler and definitely not better than the D15.

I never said the le Grand Macho RT was an AIO cooler, it's a an air cooler. And it does best the Noctua D15- you might want to read TPU's own review where they clearly state this (also many other sites have it besting the Noctua D15).
How does it beat it? Well at idle, the D15 barely (and I mean barely beats the Macho RT). However, at overclocked and full load, the le Grand Macho RT has cooler temps than the Noctua D15. Furthermore, it's significantly quietier than the D15 and it's about $20-$25 cheaper.
