    What fans should I get?

    this thermalright hs with this panaflo fan, and replacing all your system fans with these lower cfm panaflo fans should definitely be cool and quiet... also i agree with degrador, fan controllers are great for lowering fan noise when you arent using your computer....

    true power 380, how hot?

    VGA Silencer VS ATI Silencer

    since you already have the vga silencer, i think you should just stick with it. the ati silencer might run a little bit cooler with its bigger fan and copper base, but IMO, it isnt enough of a difference to warrant forking over the extra cash unless you really want the best performance.

    i cant decide whether to go with a 35wt xp-m 2400+ or a 45wt xp-m 2600+ processor... will the performance be better on the 2600+, or will i be able to overclock more on the 2400+ because it uses less wattage? thanks in advance, jesse
