[mythtv-users] Recommendations for quiet Athlon cooling?

[Michael D. Cencula]

I'm using a Thermalright SLK-800 cpu heatsink with a Vantec Stealth 80mm fan 
on top of my Athlon XP 2100.  CPU temperatures (IIRC) are around 45C.  I've 
also got another Vantec Stealth 80mm fan in the case.  Both of these are dead 
silent.  About 50 percent of the noise comes from my Western Digital 200GB 
hard drive, about 40% from the power supply fan, and about 10% from the fan 
on the Matrox G400 video card.
