[mythtv-users] Recommendations for quiet Athlon cooling?

[Rob Snow]

First off, do the Athlon Cooling stuff...it's worth it if, unless it causes 
you any of the issues mentioned.  My two Nvidia machines work fine (1 & 2).

I used to use 8045's and the like, but someone turned me onto Glacialtech 
coolers from Newegg and they work wonderfully and around $12.  They don't 
seem to make the ones I currently have anymore, however, the ones they have 
now seem to be the same but with 25mm fans instead of 10mm height fans.  I 
use them on a 2.0GHz and a 1.9GHz XP that are actually 1800's (1.533GHz)
