building new machine for video file server and bought

[robphelan]

I wanted to put in a Zalman HSF as I have in my main machine (p4 2.4GHz w/Aopen ASPE-N mobo) but it looks like the Zalman 7000AlCU will fit the socket A CPU but won't fit on the mobo itself.

Is there a good alternative to the Zalman 7000? I love the one in my main machine.

thanks
rob.

I think you can get a Swiftech or an Alpha to fit on that board, but I'm not sure... a Mobile Barton 2500+ should run cooler, so you can maybe get away with using a cheaper HSF with a different fan...
