Overall I really like the Arctic Cooling Accelero X1's. They were easy to install and certainly cool very well. They're also very quiet which is not surprising since "quiet" is a trademark of Arctic Cooling's philosophy.
The retail package included everything I needed to easily replace my stock Nvidia 7800GT coolers and the pre-applied thermal paste on the Accelero, as well as the 8 thermal pads for the RAM, seem to be of very good quality.
With an expected availability timeframe of around the end of February 2006 and a proposed MSRP of around $33 USD, I think it's a pretty good value also. I found them to be high quality units with a solid feel and very good cooling while remaining at a very respectable noise level.

If you are tired of the fan noise of your X1800 card, you should get the Arctic Cooling Accelero X2. Not because there is no other alternative on the market, but because it unites everything you would want from an aftermarket cooler.
Temperatures are a good deal better than the cooler from ATI, which is already well-engineered. The installation is a charm and can be performed by novices, too. What will please you the most is that the fan noise is reduced a lot. Where the X1800 fan sounds like a leaf blower, the Accelero X2 will easily blend in with the other fans running in your case.
