[mythtv-users] Recommendations for quiet Athlon cooling?

[Joe Votour]

I've used a Vantec Aeroflow, and it's pretty quiet -
then again, almost anything is quieter than a 7,000
RPM fan.  I've also had good success with a
ThermalTake Volcano 7+ (it has an adjustable fan,
low/medium/high), but it's big and bulky.

In terms of case fans (if needed), I highly recommend
the Vantec Stealth fans.
