OT - for those who want a quiet system - I replaced the 80mm screecher of a fan in the Thermaltake Volcano 7 (~$24) with a quiet Panasonic Panaflo FBA08A12L 80mm case fan, and also the two case fans with the same. I have an Enermax "Whisper" power supply.

I also got rid of the thermal tape on my XP1900+ with a razor blade and alcohol pad, and used thermal paste instead. Result: Quiet PC, 51 degC CPU temp under load, same as is used to be. I run the processor at 138 FSB, which gives XP 2000+ speed. It runs fine at 143 FSB, but I don't want to stress my hard drives. The noisiest fan now is a hard drive fan on my SCSI disk.
