Overall the TR2-M2 does a pretty nice job. With the fan cranked up it's not that far off from much more expensive and bigger coolers, though you have to be prepared for some noise if you want to use the fan on maximum speed. Being able to adjust the speed on the back of the case is quite nice, it is certainly a lot easier than having to open up the case to get to the controller as with Zalman's Fanmate. For less than $20, I think Thermaltake has a pretty good product. Vantec's model is a bit better, but it also costs about $10 more. So if cost is an important factor to you, give Thermaltake's TR2-M2 a look. Recommended.
