Intel Core i7-920 (retail, C0 stepping), with Noctua NH-U12P (w/ two fans, it's currently $75 brand new on newegg, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608014).
I ran this CPU at 3.6 GHz with this cooler. Afterwards I lapped it and used the newer Noctua NH-D14 to run it at 4.0 GHz (which is now running my i7-980X at 4.0GHz ). So the chip is capable of 4.0 but I haven't tried with this particular HSF.
Asking $210 shipped for it all (which works out to $180 for the CPU, the rest for the HSF and shipping).
Not pictured is the big blue Intel retail packaging, which is included. (no case badge sticker)
