installed a <FONT size=2>Zalman CNPS9500 AT in a Silverstone LC17 with a <FONT

it. While I can hear it, it is so much quieter than the jet engine Intel
ships with the P4 and the chips runs 10deg cooler under full load.

<DIV></DIV>Hi,<BR><BR>I am trying to decide on a Cooler to buy for my new HTPC
case. I think i will be getting a nMediaPC 100BA. I have narrowed
coolers down to a nMediaPC IceTank or the Zalman CNPS7700. <BR><BR>The
main difference between the two is the IceTank has 90mm fan and the Zalman
is a 120mm. Also, I know the icetank will fit but the Zalman is
quesitonable. I emailed nMediaPC to see if they know. Zalman says
for my MB I need 19mm between the top of my ECS 661FX-M and the PSU.
(Anyone have this case that could measure?) <BR><BR>What would you guys
recommend, if i knew both would
fit?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Mitchell<BR></BODY></HTML>
