Who's using cooling fins?

Are fins a "tried and true" cooling method for you, or is this the first time you're using them? I'm interested in how fins might work -- are they very large?

P.S. If the person who voted water cooling is telling the truth, he or she might want to take a look at this thread about whether water cooling is legal.
