I just got a III this past summer.  Unfortunately, its not here, its far
away in Alb, NM.  I remember getting it and thinking to myself, Jeez,
thats a hell of a heatsink!

I think its made of cast aluminium.

Question: Does anyone in Alb, NM have any experience with these beasts, or
perhaps a Lisa?
