How much do the likes of JKM or Statlers etc charge to fit one out of interest?


....I've forgotten exactly how much but remember that people have posted that the overall cost for labour and supply of a S3 i/c is virtually the same as for supply and fitting a Forge Twintercooler which has much less labour cost.
Fitting a Forge only is quite a bit less work than fitting an S3 cooler.

....Hence why the cheaper purchase price of the S3 i/c balances the more expensive-to-buy Forge: Swings versus roundabouts, or 2+4=6 and 1+5=6.
