FWIW, Paul, I don't think you need to worry about cooling given your setup. Even OC'd, the 300a celeron, manufactured on the .25 micron process, won't dissipate more than about 20 watts. Assuming you have just one or 2 5400 rpm IDE HDD's, the Q500, and no overly hot gamer's graphics card (e.g., a TNT based Viper 550), you should be more than fine. I have only the PS fan, blowing in as shipped, the small fan on the boxed 266 celeron (OC'd.) Even with 3 hard drives and several peripherals, the MB never gets over 40 deg. c-- well within acceptable range. Best guess: you'll never need to worry about it.
